Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 pieces Eggs Any size can be used
For the Ice Bath
  • 1 bowl Ice To stop the cooking process
  • 1 bowl Water For the ice bath

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the air fryer to 250°F to 275°F for about 2 to 3 minutes (optional).
  2. Place cold eggs straight from the fridge into the basket in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Cook the eggs based on your desired doneness: 12-13 minutes for soft set, 14-16 minutes for classic hard boiled, and 17 minutes for very firm yolk.
Post-Cooking
  1. As soon as the timer ends, move the eggs into an ice bath for 8 to 10 minutes to stop the cooking.
  2. Gently tap the shell all over and peel under running water for easier removal.

Notes

Store peeled or unpeeled eggs in the fridge, and try to consume them within about 7 days. Use eggs that are a week old for easier peeling.
