Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 4 cups ice
  • 4 cups cold water

Instructions:

  1. Place the 6 large eggs into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Note: Crowding the eggs prevents the air from hitting every side evenly.
  2. Set your air fryer temperature to 270°F. Do not preheat the machine.
  3. Cook the eggs for exactly 17 minutes until the shells are hot and the internal proteins have fully set.
  4. While the timer is running, prepare your shock bowl by combining 4 cups ice and 4 cups cold water.
  5. Once the air fryer dings, use your tongs to remove the eggs immediately.
  6. Submerge the eggs into the ice bath until the shells feel cold to the touch.
  7. Let the eggs rest in the ice water for at least 10 minutes. Note: This resting period is what ensures a velvety, yellow yolk.
  8. Remove an egg and gently tap it against a flat surface to crack the shell all over.
  9. Peel the shell away, ideally under a thin stream of cool running water.
  10. Pat the eggs dry with a clean cloth before storing or serving.
