The egg on the Ke'ara should be boiled and then browned a bit over a fire. –  Yahu Apr 21 '11 at 23:13

Can you source this halacha? –  Double AA Aug 4 '13 at 6:31
@DoubleAA Shulchan Aruch, OC 476. Re. the zeroa specifically, see here. Also, related: judaism.stackexchange.com/q/629 –  Fred Apr 2 at 20:16
