  2. Place the Eggs: Put your cold eggs directly into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

    • Soft Boiled (Runny): 9–10 minutes.

    • Medium Boiled (Jammy): 11–12 minutes.

    • Hard Boiled (Solid): 14–15 minutes.

H2: Important Tips for Success

  • Cold Eggs: Use eggs straight from the fridge for the most accurate timing.
