Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- Ice water for cooling
Instructions
- Remove eggs from refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature for about 15 minutes. This helps prevent cracking and ensures more even cooking.
- Gently place eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching each other. Use a single layer for best results.
- Set air fryer temperature to 250°F (120°C) for soft-boiled eggs, or 270°F (132°C) for hard-boiled eggs.
- Cook soft-boiled eggs for 10-12 minutes, or hard-boiled eggs for 13-15 minutes, depending on desired yolk consistency.
- Prepare a large bowl with ice water while eggs are cooking to immediately stop the cooking process.
- Once cooking time is complete, carefully remove eggs using tongs and immediately transfer them to the ice water bath.
- Let eggs cool in ice water for 3-5 minutes to prevent further cooking and make peeling easier.
- Gently tap eggs on a hard surface and roll to crack the shell, then peel under cool running water for cleanest results.
- Pat eggs dry with paper towels and serve immediately, or store in refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Eggs: Allow your eggs to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking. This helps prevent cracking and ensures they cook evenly.
- Single Layer Cooking: Place the eggs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch each other. This promotes even cooking and perfect results.
- Temperature Matters: For soft-boiled eggs, set your air fryer to 250°F (120°C) and cook for 10-12 minutes. For hard-boiled eggs, increase the temperature to 270°F (132°C) and cook for 13-15 minutes, adjusting based on your desired yolk consistency.
- Ice Bath: Prepare a large bowl of ice water before cooking. Transferring the eggs to the ice bath immediately after cooking halts the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
- Peeling Made Easy: After cooling in the ice water for 3-5 minutes, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and roll them to crack the shell. Peel under cool running water for the cleanest results.
- Storage: If you’re not eating them right away, pat the eggs dry with paper towels and store them in the refrigerator for up to 7 days for a quick snack or meal addition!
