How long to cook eggs in sauce (shakshuka)

Three things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 8:00

How many eggs?

How do you want the yolks?

Lid on?

A lid steams the tops. Without one the whites set slowly and unevenly.

How to tell without a timer

Off the heat now. The sauce keeps cooking them.

A runny yolk is not pasteurised. That is how most people eat eggs and have done for generations, but if you are pregnant, very young, elderly or immunocompromised, use pasteurised eggs or pick a firmer yolk.

How it goes

  1. Wells in the simmering sauce, eggs cracked straight in.

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
