Beginner’s tips on making the best air fryer eggs.
- Do a trial run with 1 egg just to have a feel on how the air fryer works on the given temperature. Infact, I’ve only mentioned 1 egg in the ingredient list.
- The size of your air fryer as well as wattage will impact the cooking time of the eggs, this air fryer egg recipe will work in any air fryer with wattage of 1400-1700.
- Each individual will prefer their hard boiled eggs a little softer or harder. so if you find that the timing given below is too high and gives you drier hard boiled egg then reduce a few minutes from the cooking time I have given.
- Once the trial run is done, avoid over crowding the air fryer basket with too many eggs.
- One of the reasons for not having perfectly hard boiled eggs is crowding or stacking too many eggs in the air fryer.
- If your egg were refrigerated, then take them out to reach room temperature. although this is not mentioned in any manual, I do this as a precaution because the eggs will go from cold to hot temps in minutes and this can affect the eggs.
- Always preheat the air fryer a few minutes before adding the eggs to boil.
- Once you remove the air fried eggs, they immediately need to be placed in a ice bath. you can fill a bowl with chilled water and drop some ice cubes into it as well. I used only chilled water.
