Air Fryer Boiled Eggs

The Working Rules

What You Need To Know

• Use room-temperature eggs where possible. Cold fridge eggs can still work, but they are more likely to crack.
• Cook at 130°C to 140°C. High heat can make the shells crack and the whites rubbery.
• Soft boiled: 9–10 minutes, then straight into cold water.
• Jammy yolk: 11–12 minutes, then cold water.
• Hard boiled: 13–15 minutes, then cold water for at least 5 minutes before peeling.
• Timings vary by fryer, egg size and starting temperature. Test two eggs once, write down your machine’s timing, then stop guessing forever.
