    Expert Tips

    • An ice bath is one of the best ways to get the eggs to peel easily since the air fryer doesn’t use water.
    • The eggs will be very hot when they're done cooking. Let them sit in the air fryer basket for a couple of minutes before taking them out. You can also use tongs if you want to get them in the ice bath sooner.
    • Since all air fryers cook a bit differently, I recommend experimenting with different cook times to find what’s perfect for you.

    Variations

    • Soft boiled eggs: cook for 11 to 12 minutes at 250 °F.
    • Medium boiled eggs: cook for 13 to 14 minutes at 250 °F.
    • Hard boiled eggs: cook for 16 to 18 minutes at 250 °F.

    Storing

    Store hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

    Recipe FAQ's

    What is an ice water bath?

    A large bowl filled with water and ice to cool down hot food and stop the cooking process.

    What different ways can you hard boil eggs?

    You can hard boil eggs in the air fryer, on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, in the Instant Pot, or in the oven.

    Will eggs explode in the air fryer?

    Nope! Cooking eggs in the air fryer will not cause them to explode as long as you follow the correct temperature and cook times.
