Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 12 large eggs room temp

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 250°F for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Arrange the Eggs. Once preheated, Place the eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
  • Cook: See cooking time below
  • Ice Bath: Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. This halts the cooking process and facilitates easier peeling.
  • Peeling: Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water to remove any stubborn bits.

Cooking Time

  • Soft-Boiled: Cook for 12-13 minutes for a runny yolk.
    Medium-Boiled: Cook for 14-15 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk.
    Hard-Boiled: Cook for 16-17 minutes for a fully firm yolk.
