Ingredients
Eggs – Any size (large is most common)
Ice cubes – For cooling
Cold water – For the ice bath
Salt, pepper, or seasonings – Optional
Equipment
Air fryer – Preheated
Heat-safe bowl – For ice bath
Slotted spoon or tongs – For safe removal
Tip: Eggs that are 5–7 days old tend to peel more easily than very fresh eggs.
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer
Set to 270°F (130°C). If your air fryer runs cooler, use 275°F (135°C). Preheat for 2–3 minutes.
Arrange the Eggs
Place eggs in a single layer with a little space between each one so hot air can circulate evenly.
Cook Time
Soft-boiled (runny yolk): 9–10 minutes
Medium-boiled (jammy yolk): 11–12 minutes
Hard-boiled (fully cooked): 13–15 minutes
No flipping or checking required—just set it and let the air fryer work.
Ice Bath
Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them chill for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking, protect yolk color, and make peeling easier.
Peel & Serve
Tap eggs gently, roll to crack the shells, and peel under cool running water. Season simply or pair with your favorite spices, sauces, or dips.
