Common Questions About Hard-Boiled Eggs Air Fryer

Can I make soft-boiled or jammy eggs in the air fryer?

Absolutely! Simply adjust the cooking time for softer yolks. Less time will give you that perfect runny yolk or jammy eggs. I love a good soft-boiled egg. For some reason, they’re just exciting to open, haha!

Can I use fresh farm eggs?

Yes, but keep in mind, store-bought eggs generally peel easier. Fresh eggs can be more challenging to peel cleanly.

I’ve done this with both store-bought and fresh eggs from home and I was very surprised at the difference. The fresh ones are almost always really difficult. 

What if my air fryer is a different size?

You can cook as many eggs as fit in a single layer. That’s the only real key here. The cooking time and temperature should remain the same regardless of the air fryer size.

Storage

When I found out I could hard-boil eggs in the air fryer, I was so excited! Why hadn’t I thought of this before? It’s so quick easy. No need to wait for water to boil.

Refrigerator

Store your air fryer eggs in the fridge, wrapped in a damp paper towel and placed in an airtight container, for up to a week.

Freezer

It’s not recommended to freeze hard-boiled eggs as the texture can change.

Tips
