EXPERT TIPS

• Leave space between the eggs so the hot air can circulate
• Cooking time may vary slightly between air fryer brands. I suggest making 1 first so you get the right consistency, then making the rest
• Do not skip the ice bath! This stops the cooking process and keeps the yolks jammy
• When peeling, crack on the "fat" end first, it makes removing the shell easier
• Air fryer soft boiled eggs will last 2 days in the fridge
