03 - Air fry at 275°F for 14 to 16 minutes, depending on desired yolk firmness (14 minutes for slightly softer yolks, 16 minutes for fully cooked).

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Your eggs come out perfectly cooked every single time without the guesswork of boiling water.
  • The shells peel away so easily you'll wonder why you ever boiled them the traditional way.
  • It's an absolute game-changer for meal prep—make a whole batch and forget about breakfast for days.
02 -
  • That ice bath is non-negotiable—I learned this the hard way when I skipped it once and spent ten minutes wrestling with a stubborn shell that clung to the white.
  • Not all air fryers are identical, so your sweet spot might be 14 or 15 minutes instead of the full 16—write down what works for your machine and you'll nail it every time.
03 -
  • Rolling the egg gently on the counter before peeling works wonders—it cracks the shell all over and makes the whole thing come apart in fewer, bigger pieces.
  • If you're cooking a smaller or larger batch, keep the temperature the same but adjust timing slightly; just add or subtract a minute or two and pay attention to what happens.
