Ingredients
4 large eggs up to 12 eggs, depending on the size of your air fryer
Instructions
Preheat your air fryer to 270° F to 275° F (132-135°C). If your air fryer doesn’t go lower in temperature than 300° F, set it to 300° F (148°C).
Add the eggs to the basket, leaving a little space between each one. Close the air fryer.
For soft boiled eggs, cook for 9-11 minutes. For jammy eggs, cook 12-13. For hard boiled eggs, cook for 13-15 minutes.
If you set your air fryer to 300° F (148°C), subtract about 1-2 minutes. Remember, you’ll need to practice a bit to figure out how long to cook in your particular air fryer.
While the eggs cook, prepare the ice bath. Fill a bowl halfway with ice, then add cold water until the bowl is 3/4 filled.
Remove the eggs from the air fryer and set them in the ice bath for about 4-5 minutes, until cool but not cold (this makes them easier to peel).
Gently crack the egg shells, rolling them a bit along a hard surface to make cracks along all sides. Peel and enjoy right away or store for later.
Notes
IMPORTANT: Use this recipe as a reference to guide your cooking, but do expect there to be a learning curve. Plan to experiment a bit to find the ideal cook time for the eggs you like, so start by cooking one or two eggs until you get a handle on it.
To store: Peel the cooked eggs, but do not cut them until you’re ready to eat them. Transfer the cooked eggs to an airtight container or bag and store covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, per USDA.
