Soft Boiled Eggs Recipe FAQs
What temperature should I set my air fryer to for boiled eggs?
We cooked these air fryer soft boiled eggs at 300°F for 10 minutes, but you can adjust the cooking time and temperature setting based on your air fryer and egg size. Try 2 eggs the first time and adjust accordingly. Both 250°F for 12 minutes and 285°F for 9 minutes might also work. For air fried hard boiled eggs, try 250°F for 20 minutes.
How to get egg yolks in the center?
To get yolks right in the center for your air fryer soft boiled eggs, store your eggs on their sides for a day.
Are boiled eggs with green rings safe to eat?
That green ring around the yolk is safe to eat. It just means the eggs got overcooked, so make sure your ice bath is ready to stop the cooking process immediately.
Will the eggs crack or explode in the air fryer?
Nope. It’s simple and safe once you learned how to cook eggs in the air fryer. Just make sure they sit in a single layer with gaps between them.
How to perfectly peel air fryer eggs?
Start from the base of the egg because that’s where the air pocket is. Peel the eggs from the membrane and rinse them under running water to remove any remaining eggshell.
