Description
A simple and efficient method to prepare perfectly boiled eggs using an air fryer, yielding firm whites and creamy yolks without the need for boiling water.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- Eggs (as many as desired)
Instructions
- Arrange Eggs: Place the desired number of eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are in a single layer and not stacked on top of each other to allow even cooking.
- Set Temperature and Time: Set the air fryer to 270°F (130°C) and cook the eggs for 15 minutes for perfectly boiled results.
- Cool the Eggs: Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the eggs from the air fryer using tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes, which stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
- Peel the Eggs: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under cool running water to remove the shell easily without damaging the whites.
- Serve or Store: Serve the boiled eggs immediately as a snack or breakfast addition, or store them in the refrigerator for later use.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature before cooking to prevent cracking.
- Do not stack eggs in the air fryer to ensure even cooking.
- Cooling eggs in ice water not only stops cooking but also helps shells peel off more easily.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the eggs and individual air fryer models.
- Store peeled or unpeeled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
