H2: Why You’ll Love Air Fryer Eggs

  • Zero Water: No need to wait for a large pot of water to boil.

  • Consistency: The timed air circulation ensures the yolks are cooked exactly how you like them.

  • Easy Peel: Air-fried eggs are famously much easier to peel than traditionally boiled ones.

  • Set it and Forget it: Just put them in, set the timer, and walk away.

H2: Ingredients

  • Large Eggs: Straight from the refrigerator.

  • Cold Water & Ice: For the essential "ice bath" after cooking.

H2: Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C) for 3 minutes.

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

  3. Cook: Set your timer based on your preference:

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

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

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

  4. Prepare Ice Bath: While they cook, fill a bowl with cold water and lots of ice.

  5. Shock the Eggs: Immediately transfer eggs to the ice bath for 10 minutes to stop the cooking.

  6. Peel: Gently crack the shells and peel under cold running water.

H2: Important Tips for Success

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

  • Air Fryer Variance: Air fryers vary in power; try a "test egg" first to find your perfect timing.

  • The Ice Bath is Mandatory: Skipping the ice bath will result in overcooked, rubbery eggs.
