Change Up How You Use Your Air Fryer!

The most common use of air fryers is to bake up fried foods, but what if I told you that you could use your air fryer for more than just fried foods?

You might be asking if it's possible to make hard-boiled eggs without water. The answer is a strong YES! This recipe doesn't call for any water! You won't have to waste more time watching over a pot of water! Whoop whoop!

What Are Hard Boiled Eggs?

Eggs cooked with intact shells, usually submerged in boiling water, are known as hard-boiled eggs.

Soft, Semi-Soft, Jammy, & Hard-Boiled

There are 4 main types of "hard-boiled" eggs, & they can all be made in the air fryer simply by adjusting the times!

Soft Boiled Egg:

When making soft-boiled eggs, you want to make sure that the whites are just set & that the yolk is nearly liquid. Similar to a sunny-side-up egg yolk!

Semi-Soft Boiled Egg:

Semi-soft boiled eggs should come out pretty similar to the soft boil eggs. The only difference between them should be a slightly firmer yolk.

Jammy Boiled Egg:

The name of this boiled egg is exactly how you will ensure it is properly cooked! When you cut the egg, the whites should be set & the yolk should have a jammy texture.

Hard-Boiled Egg:

A hard-boiled egg has both set whites & a set yolk!
