Yes, You Can Make Hard Boiled Eggs In Your Air Fryer

Don't worry, it's safe

Certainly! Here’s a rewritten version of the text:

Naturally, when it comes to recipes that involve eggs, food safety is a primary concern. The FDA states that eggs, even those that appear clean and uncracked, can harbor bacteria that may lead to foodborne illness. The air fryer is a safe cooking method for eggs, provided that both the yolk and white are fully cooked and that the eggs are fresh. A very runny yolk and a clear white indicate that the egg is undercooked. If you have any doubts, consider using a food thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

Another effective way to check if your eggs are still good is the float test. Fill a glass with water halfway, then gently place your egg in the water. If it sinks, it’s likely fresh. If it floats, it’s probably an older egg that you should avoid using.

It will take time to perfect the process

Just like ovens and stovetops, each air fryer has its own cooking style, so you might need to experiment a bit before you find the perfect method. In addition to determining the right temperature and using an ice bath, there are several air fryer tips that can help you refine your technique.

Be sure to preheat your air fryer before adding the eggs. This guarantees that the eggs cook at the optimal temperature throughout the process. Also, arrange the eggs evenly in the tray, similar to how you would with other foods—overcrowding can hinder proper air circulation, resulting in uneven cooking. Unlike most items cooked in the air fryer, such as fries or frozen snacks, avoid pulling the tray out while the eggs are cooking. Just like with a traditional pot of boiling water, removing the eggs will interrupt the cooking process. Regardless of how you prefer your eggs, this tip will definitely simplify things for you next time. Give it a shot!
