Why do I need to place boiled eggs into a bowl of ice-cold water?

Placing the eggs in the ice bath lowers the temperature of the eggs, prevents them from cooking, and brings them closer to room temperature, making peeling the eggs easier.

Do I have to use an ice bath with air fryer hard boiled eggs?

No! You can omit the ice bath step entirely. The trick, however, is getting the eggs to room temperature, so if you have the time, just let the eggs sit and get to room temperature before peeling them for your recipes.

How do I store the remaining eggs?

Refrigerate any leftover hard-boiled eggs in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

What can I use the hard boiled eggs for?

After you've finished making the eggs, store them in the refrigerator for later use. Make potato salad, egg salad, avocado egg salad, or add them to your favorite salad for lunch, among other things.

Easy Peel Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs Recipe [2022] (Fail-proof)

Description

Air fryer eggs are your new favorite method of “boiling” eggs! Get all of the tricks and tips right here!

Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs up to 12 eggs depending to size of your air fryer

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 270°F–275°F. Set your air fryer to 300° F if it does not go below that temperature.
Fill the basket with the eggs, leaving a little space between each one. Turn off the air fryer.
Cook for 9-11 minutes for soft boiled eggs. Cook 12-13 minutes for jammy eggs. Cook for 13-15 minutes for hard boiled eggs. Subtract about 1-2 minutes if you set your air fryer to 300° F. Remember that you’ll need to experiment a little to figure out how long to cook in your specific air fryer.
Prepare the ice bath while the eggs are cooking. Fill a bowl halfway with ice, then top it off with cold water until it’s 3/4 full.
Remove the eggs from the air fryer and place them in an ice bath for 4-5 minutes, or until they are cool but not cold (this makes them easier to peel).
Gently crack the egg shells by rolling them along a hard surface to create cracks on all sides. Peel and eat immediately or save for later.

Notes

Use this recipe as a guide to guide your cooking, but expect a learning curve. Plan to experiment a little to find the ideal cook time for the eggs you like, so start with one or two eggs at a time until you get a feel for it.
