The long, hot summer is in full swing in Dubai! And we’ve all made the joke that you could cook eggs on the pavement, but this week one Dubai chef went ahead and did it… 

A video posted on Arabic food channel Fatafeat’s Instagram shows a man successfully cooking up a perfect sunny side up egg. He starts off by saying that the pan has been outside in the sun for the past 10 minutes, claiming it’s almost 50°C out in the sun. He then adds some oil, cracks open the egg, which sizzles right away, adds a pinch of salt and pepper and voila!

“This is how we do it in Dubai,” the chef joked at
the end of the video. “Sunny side up!”

Naturally people are dazzled by the hot, hot video. 

“[An] accurate representation of the heat,” one viewer commented. “Who needs a stove when you live in the UAE? hehehe,” another added.

But some viewers are dubious about the video’s credibility, claiming that he added hot oil to the pan. 

“Oil was hot thats y….he should have used only fry pan,” one comment reads. “The oil is already burning hot, see the way he is holding oil bowl and pan was already hot,” another critic wrote. 

Either way, we’re impressed! Who else is planning on cooking an alfresco breakfast this weekend?
