                            The heat coming from your stove denatures the protein by disrupting some of its bonds that held the molecule into shape. ... Salt and acids (like vinegar) can also denature proteins in the same way heat does. Adding these substances speeds up the process by which the egg whites solidify and stops the seepage.
