Ingredients:

• Eggs (as many as can fit in your air fryer base)
• Ice
• Water

How to Prepare:

1. Set Up the Air Fryer: Place the metal rack inside the air fryer. Ensure it is securely pushed down.
2. Add the Eggs: Place the eggs on the rack. They might roll around a bit, which is normal. You can fit as many eggs as will comfortably sit on the base.
3. Cook the Eggs: Insert the tray into the air fryer. Set the air fryer to 250°F (120°C). Cook for 16 minutes and press start.
4. Prepare the Ice Bath: While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with water and adding ice.
5. Cool the Eggs: Once the eggs are done, immediately transfer them to the ice bath using tongs. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.
6. Peel the Eggs: Crack the eggs gently and roll them to loosen the shell. Insert your finger between the membrane and the egg white, applying slight pressure to peel off the shell.

Tips:

• Older eggs tend to peel more easily than fresh ones.
• If you find peeling tricky, try peeling under running water to help separate the membrane from the egg white.

Main Questions About the Recipe:

Q: Can I cook more eggs at once if I stack them? A: It’s best not to stack the eggs to ensure even cooking. Only cook as many eggs as can fit on the base in a single layer.

Q: What if my air fryer doesn’t have a metal rack? A: You can still use your air fryer without the metal rack, but ensure the eggs are stable and not touching each other for even cooking.

Q: How long can I store the air fryer hard boiled eggs? A: You can store peeled hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to a week. Unpeeled eggs can last a bit longer, up to 10 days.
