Ingredients
×3- 6large eggs — straight from the fridge
- 4 cupsice water — for the ice bath — not optional
- —flaky salt and black pepper — to taste, for eating
Method
- 01
Preheat the air fryer to 270°F for 3 minutes. Consistent starting heat is what makes the timing repeatable.
- 02
Set the cold eggs directly in the basket, spaced so they don't rattle into each other. No water, no rack tricks, no pricking.
- 03
Cook 15 minutes for fully set yolks. Prefer a jammy center? Pull at 12 to 13 minutes. Every machine runs slightly different, so treat your first batch as a calibration run and adjust by a minute next time.
- 04
Transfer the eggs straight into the ice water with tongs and leave them for 5 full minutes. This stops the cooking, keeps the yolks from graying, and shrinks the egg from the shell so peeling doesn't become archaeology.
- 05
Peel from the fat end, where the air pocket lives. Eat with flaky salt and pepper, or stash unpeeled in the fridge for up to a week.
