Many thanks for taking the time and effort to make the video. It really helps us new to air frying a lot. And a BIG thumbs👍 up.

My pleasure 😊

I've just started to do boiled eggs in my air fryer, i've found for a soft boiled egg it takes 7 minutes on 200 and it's perfect. I have a cosori dual blaze so when i do a fried egg i take the crisper out and put some oil in the bottom and crack an egg in for 3 minutes on 180 and it's perfect, the top is the same as if you had used a frying pan. My last air fryer had a basket instead of a crisper plate so i had to do them in a tin. They never turned out right. What i like about the cosori dual blaze it's so easy to clean, especially compared to having to clean a gas hob, grids, splash back and extract fan as i can't stand a dirty cooker hob. It's a no brainer really. Thank for the work you put into it

[@CandidClara]

I agree gas hobs are horrible to clean!

[@ParchCraftAustralia]

Thank you so much!!😊

[@johnc5747]

Appreciated your tips & techniques on cooking eggs in the air fryer. However, for scrambled eggs - do it in the microwave using the same technique BUT instead of stirring every 2 minutes, stir every 20 seconds. Both ovens use electricity however the microwave is much quicker and more efficient.

[@douglasthompson296]

Hi Clara, I've yet to try eggs in my A/F but I've hit on a novel way with poached eggs. I use greased microwave mini steam pudding containers, just like your non stick moulds, no faffing about with spirit vinegar swirling in water, load the egg into the greased mould, drop it into rolling boiling water for required time and I get a perfect result every time. It's saved me buying silicone moulds. Job done. Cheers DougT

[@CandidClara]

But do you eat them with Marmite toast? That is the important question!

[@douglasthompson296]

@@CandidClara errrrr nooo way José

[@indy1205]

I didn't hear a time and temp for your poached eggs.

[@douglasthompson296]

If that question was to me indy1205 then it's not an exact science 🤔 I just get the pan to a rolling boil (not a furious boil), drop the heatable plastic mini mould into the pan. I seem to find 4+- minutes sufficient, just keep testing with a knife tip, see the yolks firmly in the steaming white and if it doesn't separate then it's done. 😎😁 Buttered toasted seeded batch (Warburton's for me) slices and a mug of Yorkshire Tea and that's my breakfast sorted 👍 It's easier doing it the old school way rather than faffing about timing my A/F Cheers DougT

[@grahamjohnson4702]

I see you have a microwave so why not do poached eggs in the microwave put a little water in your pudding bowl and the egg for 1 or 2 minutes no problem and less hassle.

[@Volklet]

I’ve just tried poaching eggs and it worked! I definitely need to swap my silicone moulds for metal dishes though.

[@CandidClara]

Yes, worth swapping and you can use them for other things too

I own a small business with a small lunch area. Space is at a premium..we live in Canada. I work with my son and a hot breakfast is helpful to get the day going. One thing he loves…I preheat the Cosori for 3 minutes put 3 strips of bacon cut in half..I keep homeade bagels in the freezer..grab one of those and scramble an egg with salt and pepper in a tiny cake pan..all at 385 for 4 minutes make it into a sandwich with some butter and he loves it.

[@CandidClara]

That sounds fantastic, you are making me hungry!

[@Amileo350]

I have just cooked a poached egg to perfection using this method. Although, I have the AF300 model and a square tin will not fit inside, but I did use the metal pudding dish. I placed the pudding dish into the air fryer using the tongs from my halogen oven and removed the same way. However, on trying to drain the water using a slotted spoon, gravity got the better of me and the egg fell into the sink. It was fine and I still ate it. I will use a foil dish next time to help me get it out safely.

[@CandidClara]

Oh no! 🫣

[@fatimadafonte7699]

Never enjoyed scrambled eggs until I learnt how to do in MICROWAVE😂

[@CandidClara]

yes microwave is an option for people who have them

[@tam8197]

my fav is the slice of buttered white, use a cup to cut out a circle, drop of oil in the hole when you lay down the bread, and then crack the egg into the hole. 4-5 mins @200 and heaven.

[@vincenzocherubini2424]

My mate's dad used to make them for us, used to call them "Egg Banjo's"!

A much needed video. I agree, lots of conflicting advice on KZbin. Just bought a Cosori and love it! Subscribed and value your advice.

[@CandidClara]

Thank you, so pleased to be of help!

[@lucypiplucy]

Thanks - top tips. Do I assume that the air fryer is pre-heated?

[@CandidClara]

No, you don’t need to bother they come to temperature so quickly!

[@stuartmolyneux64]

Just had extremely hard boiled fried eggs thanks to your advice of cooking 200c for 10 minutes. I knew it was too long & made no sense, but i followed the method regardless.

[@CandidClara]

In the video and in the description I advise 7 minutes at 170, so I'm not sure where you got 10 minutes at 200 from? 🤷

[@stuartmolyneux64]

​@@CandidClara - watch again. I watched twice "fried eggs. Cover in foil . 10 minutes @200c"

[@stuartmolyneux64]

​@@CandidClara - your description says 10 minute at 200 too , so might be worth editing the video & reposting :)

[@CandidClara]

Apologies I was thrown by your mention of “boiled” as I said in the comments all air fryers do vary, it that’s what worked for me

[@Mary_Rees]

Hi Clara how long and what temp did you do the poached eggs for please?

[@CandidClara]

Apologies, this is the problem with working alone, sometimes you miss the obvious! It’s in the description x

[@Mary_Rees]

@ thank you, got it!

[@grahamjohnson4702]

The difference between the one cooked in the pudding basin and the one in the silicon bowl was probably because the pudding basin would get hot but the silicon bowl would not so no heat transfer.

[@CandidClara]

Yes silicone is a poor heat conductor, I also advise against silicone liners for this reason

[@abdullahejaz226]

Helpful one… thanks

[@CandidClara]

Thanks for the comment 😁

[@gyorgybereg6916]

It just happens that I had a little egg-periment (HAHA) myself too! I wanted to find ways to have nice breakfast without much work, because I rather not eat anything if I need to do stuff for it in the morning. I used ramekins too, thinking that it would give me a much more even result and, and it does. For the base egg mixture I used Helen Rennie's recipe, If someone reads my comment the day I post it it's in her latest video as well. She uses milk and flour, but for a different reason I won't get into. I used it because straight eggs stick like glue and blows up in your face and eggs can get quite hot, but this mixture won't. 135 °C in my air fryer, with 4 very specific ramekins from Tesco, for 20 minutes. Leave them cool in the air fryer if you can. (but open it up right away, because they puff up beautiful, you need to see it!) my basket is 20*20 or 22*22 I can't remember. Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L.

[@stevebomonster]

I have a tiny sandwich maker, flat base, £5 does perfect fried eggs, scrambled, omlette 3 mins. Non-stick. 3 egg, egg poacher, water level determines soft medium hard, would not attempt using an Air Blower. Ps check out the cosori 26qt ceramic airfryer oven, has a hotplate at the base leave door open and put a frying pan on the bottom burner.

[@CandidClara]

I’ll add this one to my list. The great thing about air fryers is they are so portable (especially the single drawers) many people take them with them on the road, camping, house Tenno actions etc hence using them in place of a hob

[@harrymilton657]

What was the time and temperature for the poached egg?

[@CandidClara]

Oh my word, I cannot believe I forgot this in the video, I’m so sorry. I do them at 170c for 7 minutes on air fry

[@buzby303]

Alternative to foil ?

[@CandidClara]

Just curious, why do you want an alternative?

[@MarionGolbourn]

I have a 20cm frying pan. It cooks my eggs perfectly either fried,scrambled,omelette in less than 3 minutes. Why would you use an air fryer. Boiling water works well for boiled eggs and poached.in 3 minutes. I bought my air fryer toaster oven because it had a spit roast function and basically I have found that is all I use it for. Same with the microwave I only use it for heating my milk for coffee from my nespresso machine. Nothing beats a conventional oven and hob. Unless of course you live off ready meals full of junk.

[@CandidClara]

Please read the note in the description 😬

[@toni4729]

You use "NON STICK" and still use OIL?

[@CandidClara]

yes

[@TooGumbica]

200? what? Fahrenheit or Celsius, appples?

[@CandidClara]

Celcius. This is a UK channel that is what is standard here

[@TooGumbica]

@@CandidClara I know its a standard there, but there was no way for me to know it from this video alone. I was kinda lucky i was drunk and commented, so now i know, but i still left the video and searched for something thats gonna state the info. So feed back, state the measurement, its less friction for the consumer to get to the information.

[@willx9352]

It is much easier using conventional methods for most of these. With conventional methods, you can check “doneness”, and adjust cooking time accordingly.

Please see notes in the description, there are many reasons people want to cook eggs in an air fryer, including and not limited to a lack of hob

That doesn’t make it smart. Just get a hot plate and a skillet. This feels like when microwaves were young, and people irradiated a myriad of foods, just because. The pressure cooker does hard boiled eggs better, btw.

[@fabianmckenna8197]

You can cook lovely soft scrambled eggs stirring in a pot in a couple of minutes. You can cook lovely soft scrambled eggs stirring in a microwave in around one minute. Why on earth would you ever spend five minutes or so doing it in an airfrier.......... P.S. Years ago working in a hotel room service, our excellent basket and chain timer & metal hot water bath egg boiler gave up the ghost. We discovered you could "boil" eggs under a salamander grill for six minutes! You could also use the milk steamer on the coffee machine to make scrambled eggs but had to remember to clean it before making coffees.
