Frequently asked
How long do hard boiled eggs take in the air fryer?
15 minutes at 270°F for firm yolks, then a 5-minute ice bath.
Can I batch-cook a dozen?
Yes — as many as fit in a single layer. The time stays the same.
Why do my eggs have brown spots?
Light spots on the shell are normal from the dry heat and don't affect the egg.
