Ultimate Guide to Air Fryer Soft & Hard Boiled Eggs

[@micheleyounger6700]

Omg....it worked people...tonight I had 2 x 9 min boiled eggs 150c Asda v basic air fryer....they were gorgeous. Put in egg cup. Peeled ok...9;mins fridge to table...it's not a taste sensation it's a life revelation.......Thank you both...

I hav a single tray small basic air fryer - can I put 2 eggs in same time to get same results or do they have to be cooked separately ? Thanks

[@patrickflanagan9465]

Well now I am an ancient wrinkley and to be honest a bit scared and ignorant re modern technology but after a lot of deliberation we purchased a AIRFRYER!,! First I cooked a leg of lamb which turned out beautifully. And then I started watching lots of videos and I saw you cooking a soft boiled egg . I have had major problems cooking soft boiled eggs and to be honest I really did not believe what I was watching. This was 3am. Next morning following your info I had the best egg on toast I have had for ages, thank you both for this brilliant life changer Paddywackerty ❤❤❤

[@butlersempire]

Nice one Paddy.

[@wendyjones3953]

You must view #Butler’s Empire’s recent video of a huge leg of lamb being cooked in their latest airfryer. The machine is massive - you’ll want one, most of us do! Sharon and Martin explain everything so clearly plus they’re usually cooking just for themselves OR for their large family, so there’s something for everyone PLUS there’s lots of fun and laughter too. Amazing food😋😋.

Another great video guys and one I will be trying. Eggs can be horrible to peel but if you crack the egg and put it back into the water for a minute, it makes it much easier to peel. .... Just saying ❤ xx

[@ritac3784]

I agree. I find if you roll the egg in your hands it creates loads of cracks and it's easy to peel then

[@LemonPuf]

Put the eggs in a cup and gently shake the cup with hand over the top. It breaks the egg shell gently and makes it easy to peel

I'm convinced, off to kitchen now. Egg cup and soldiers ready 😊

[@davidr3382]

I gave this a try right after watching the video - I tried 150c for 9 minutes (two eggs as you did) and into water. I'm glad I didn't try to peel the first one, I have an egg topper (lops off the top) and it wasn't just runny it was barely cooked, very runny. I popped the other one back in the air fryer for two minutes. Having already dunked that in the water and cooled it, that to wasn't completely done to my soft boiled but not with the whites under cooked. It probably differs with the Air Fryer being used, mine a Ninja Dual Zone, I will give it an other try and bump up the temp to 170c for the same 9 minutes.

You soon get confident .I'm 70 ,and I was determined to understand this new way of cooking ,its fab. Got friends and family using air dryers now .

[@buzz2beee2rs9]

A tip for peeling cooked eggs. Bash it g3ently on a flat side, then roll it a lot until it is like crazy paving. Now when you open it try and get under the membrane. The shell comes off all in one. Just rinse off to clear ny little bits of shell that may have stuck.

[@lindaroberts2508]

When i boil a egg they are always hard, or runny,this was a great way to boil eggs. ❤

I've been doing this for a long time, but what we're really getting is baked eggs, not boiled. So the membrane cooks hard and smells a bit, but the trade off is quick eggs and I'm a happy bunny!

It’s a lot easier to peel eggs under water., especially hard boiled, and it also washes off any shell debris left sticking to egg.

[@heyjoletsgo309]

Hi Martin and Sharon, thanks for this vid. I shall try those temps and to Timings next time. The shells do ‘stick’ more if you air fry the egg. My absolute go to on a boiled egg is Maldon Sea Salt. It’s from Essex and is the best salt going IMO xx

Good vid....thank you. There are a few on you tube for soft boiled eggs but every single one misses an important point. Are the eggs small medium or large. That will affect the cooking time the same way as it does in a pan. What size were yours please...cheers.

Do air fryers keep a constant temperature? so if you set it at 200C will it stay at 200 or will it reach the temperature then drop to say 170C?

[@butlersempire]

They are thermostatically controlled to stay at the temp.

@@butlersempire I have a Tower vortex and i've tested it a few times with an oven thermometer and it either doesn't reach the set temp or it goes well overit , so for example i wanted to do a cheese toastie so set 200C for 5mins and initially it went as high as 175C, but for most part it fluctuated between 150C and 160C never reaching anywhere near 200C. The other i did was a hard boiled egg so set 120C for 14mins, the air fryer went to 140C to 150C and never went anywhere near 120C. Does this sound normal?
