hard boiled eggs in air fryer: Peeling is Easy!

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ice Bath: Fill a large mixing bowl with the measured cold water and all the ice cubes. Set this aside immediately next to the air fryer, as it is crucial for success.
2. Preheat (Optional but Recommended): Preheat the air fryer to 275°F (135°C) for 3–5 minutes. If your air fryer doesn't preheat, skip this step but note that cooking time might increase by 1 minute.
3. Load the Eggs: Carefully place the eggs directly into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; ensure there is adequate airflow around each egg.
4. Set Temperature and Time: Set the air fryer temperature to 275°F (135°C). Cook for 15–16 minutes for a classic firm yolk (hard-boiled). Do not exceed 300°F (150°C).
5. Immediate Transfer: As soon as the timer goes off, use tongs to carefully transfer the hot eggs directly and immediately into the prepared ice bath.
6. Stop Cooking and Chill: Allow the eggs to sit in the ice bath for a minimum of 5 minutes. This rapidly halts the cooking process and is essential for achieving easy peeling.
7. Peel: Gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell all over. Roll the egg lightly to further loosen the shell before peeling under cool, running water.
8. Serve or Store: Use immediately, or store peeled eggs in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Unpeeled eggs last up to 1 week.
