Choose the Right Eggs: For best results, use eggs that are at least a few days old. Fresher eggs can be more difficult to peel after cooking. If possible, let the eggs sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes before placing them in the air fryer. This can help prevent cracking during cooking.
Experiment with Cooking Time: Cooking times can vary depending on the size and model of your air fryer, as well as your personal preference for yolk texture. Start with the recommended 16 minutes at 250 °F, but feel free to adjust the cooking time slightly to achieve your desired level of doneness. You may want to try a test batch to find the perfect cooking time for your specific air fryer.
Shock in Ice Water: Transferring the cooked eggs to an ice bath immediately after cooking is crucial for stopping the cooking process and preventing the eggs from overcooking. This also helps shrink the egg whites slightly, making them easier to peel. Make sure the ice water bath is ready before the eggs finish cooking so you can transfer them quickly. After 5 minutes in the ice bath, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water for easier peeling.
