02 - Gently place the eggs in the air fryer basket without letting them touch.
03 - Cook eggs at 275°F for 14 to 16 minutes depending on yolk preference: 14 minutes for softer yolks, 16 minutes for fully set yolks.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No water to boil means you're done in under 20 minutes from start to finish.
  • The shells practically slide off—no more wrestling with stubborn bits stuck to the white.
  • Perfect eggs every single time, which is honestly harder to mess up in the air fryer than on the stovetop.
02 -
  • The ice water bath is non-negotiable—skip it and you'll spend minutes wrestling with stubborn shells that cling to the white.
  • Temperature matters more than exact timing; every air fryer runs slightly different, so your first batch might need a minute or two of adjustment.
03 -
  • Start checking eggs at 14 minutes to dial in exactly what doneness you prefer in your specific air fryer.
  • If you're making a huge batch for the week, this method scales beautifully and still takes roughly the same time as cooking just six.
