# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Hands-off cooking means you can step away and let the air fryer do the work while you tackle your morning.
  • Peeling is genuinely easy—no more wrestling with stubborn shells under running water.
  • Perfect every single time, which makes it ideal for batch cooking without second-guessing yourself.
02 -
  • The ice bath is non-negotiable—it's what makes the difference between a shell that sticks and one that practically falls off on its own.
  • Don't skip the preheat step; it ensures all your eggs cook at the same rate and come out evenly done.
03 -
  • If your shells are still stubbornly sticking, try peeling them under a gentle stream of cool running water—the water helps separate the membrane from the white.
  • Some air fryer models run hotter or cooler than the dial suggests, so do a test batch of three eggs your first time to dial in your perfect timing.
