Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C) for 3 minutes to ensure the cooking environment reaches the right temperature.
- Arrange the Eggs: Place the eggs directly into the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded for even cooking.
- Air Fry the Eggs: Cook the eggs for 15 minutes at 270°F (130°C) to achieve fully hard boiled eggs with firm whites and yolks.
- Prepare Ice Bath: While the eggs are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice water to prepare for immediate cooling.
- Cool the Eggs: Once the cooking cycle ends, transfer the eggs promptly to the ice water bath. Let them soak for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel or Store: Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel off the shells, or store the eggs unpeeled in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and the size of the eggs.
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old rather than very fresh eggs.
- Storing unpeeled eggs in the refrigerator can extend their freshness for up to a week.
