Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs Save You The Inconvenience Of Heating Water
By Julia Mullaney
Hard-boiling eggs is simple enough, but popping eggs into an air fryer takes even less time than cooking them in water because you don't have to wait around for the water to boil.
Gently lower the eggs into the air fryer basket to ensure the shells don't break, then cook them to your desired level of doneness. The best part is there's no cleanup afterward.
Be sure to keep the temperature relatively low. Preheat the air fryer to around 270 or 275 degrees Fahrenheit, reducing the risk of unevenly cooking or burning the eggs.
For a hard-boiled texture, cook them for 15 minutes. Medium-boiled takes about 12 minutes, while soft-boiled takes about 10 minutes.
Hard-boiled eggs have firm yolks, ideal for deviled eggs or egg salad. Medium-boiled eggs have softer yolks, and soft-boiled eggs have a gooier center that's good for toast.
When you pull your eggs from the fryer, immediately immerse them in cold water to stop cooking, ensuring they only cook to the doneness you prefer.
