Air Fryer “Hard Boiled” Eggs
These Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs aren't really boiled, but they turn out just as perfect as boiling and it’s a very hands-off way to cook a dozen or more hard boiled eggs at a time.
Equipment
- Wire Rack or Egg Rack Optional
- Kitchen Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 dozen eggs however many you want
- Cold water
Instructions
- Place the eggs in the basket. Cook on 250° F (120C) for 18 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to a cold water bath until cooled.
Notes
- Every air fryer is different and will cook differently, thus it’s always a good idea to test one egg before cooking a whole dozen and having them not turn out to your liking.
- I am using a 1000-watt air fryer and cold eggs straight from the fridge.
- At 18 minutes the yolk is cooked to done. At 16 minutes, the yolk is still a little under. At 20 minutes, the yolk is firm and crumbly.
- Adjust the timing down a minute or two if using room temperature eggs or a stronger wattage air fryer.
- Transfer the eggs directly into a cold water bath. You don’t want the eggs to continue cooking for too long after you’ve taken them out of the air fryer.
- You can cook 1 egg or a dozen.
- It’s important that you use the freshest eggs you can. Fresh eggs cook better and lead to a more tender texture. They are also easier to peel.
All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
