For example, “Cook until eggs are set, 4–5 minutes.” “Set” is the indicator and this is achieved in the 4–5 minute time frame. Aim for the eggs to be set rather than removing the pan from the heat after the 4–5 minute suggested time. Cooktops and oven temperatures vary so pay attention to the indicators in a recipe, and use the time frame as a general idea as to how long it might take to achieve the indicator.
