Air Fryer Hard-Boiled Eggs Tips

What is the best air fryer to use to make hard boiled eggs?

Our test kitchen took the guesswork out of purchasing the best air fryer for your needs.

How do you remove the hard-boiled eggs from the air fryer when they are done?

The safest way to remove the hot eggs from the air fryer is using a silicone-coated tongs with a long handle. The silicone coating will hold the eggs without slipping, and the long handle will keep the hot air fryer basket at a safe distance from your hands. Another safe method is placing the eggs on a wire rack inside the fryer basket and removing the rack when the eggs are done—be sure to use oven mitts for this method. Besides tongs and oven mitts, find more essential kitchen tools that you should have.

How do you soft boil eggs in an air fryer?

Hard- or soft-boiled, the method is the same. Set the air fryer for 275 degrees. Soft-boiled eggs will be ready in 7 minutes, and hard-boiled in 15. Once you’ve made your air fryer hard-boiled eggs, here are some hard-boiled eggs recipes to try!
