🥚 Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs

🔥 Why It Works:

Air fryers cook the eggs with consistent circulating heat, mimicking the effect of boiling but with no pot or water. Easy cleanup and no babysitting required!

---

🧾 You’ll Need:

• Eggs (as many as your air fryer can hold in a single layer)

• An air fryer

• Bowl of ice water (for cooling after cooking)

---

⏱️ Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 270–275°F (135°C) (no worries if your model doesn’t go that low—see tip below).

2. Place eggs in the basket in a single layer (no oil or foil needed).

3. Air fry for:

   • Hard-boiled: 15–17 minutes

   • Medium: 12–13 minutes

   • Soft-boiled: 9–10 minutes

4. Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5–10 minutes. This stops the cooking and makes them easier to peel.

5. Peel and enjoy, or store in the fridge for up to a week.

🧠 Tips:

• If your air fryer only goes down to 300°F, reduce cook time slightly to avoid overcooking.

• Use older eggs (5–7 days) for easier peeling.

• Add a pinch of baking soda to the ice bath to help with peeling (optional but effective).
