Much has been said about its benefits, and for good reason. The air fryer is a real invention, proving that this small appliance can cook almost anything quickly and with less oil during the process.
Though people often call it a deep fryer, an air fryer does more than fry. It cooks by circulating hot air. The question remains: can it really handle any dish? For example, can eggs go in it? The answer is yes.
Eggs can be cooked in an air fryer in several ways. Since different fryer models vary, it is important to know the right temperatures and times to achieve the desired result. Here is how to cook eggs in an air fryer and the precise points to aim for.

Cooking a boiled egg is simple. Place the egg in the fryer basket and set the temperature to 130 degrees. For a fully set yolk, plan about 15 minutes. For a creamier yolk, aim for 11 to 13 minutes, and for a liquid yolk with a fully set white (the classic boiled egg) around 9 minutes.

How to make roasted apples in an air fryer
Roasting apples in an air fryer creates a sweet and tender treat with a shallow sense of crunch on the outside. Slice apples, toss with a touch of cinnamon, and set the device to a moderate heat. A brief preheat can help seal in juices, and a short finish under a higher heat adds a golden finish.
Benefits of eating eggs every day
Eggs are a kitchen staple. They offer high quality protein that is easy to digest, along with vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and antioxidants such as selenium and vitamins B12 and A, all of which support good nutrition. Nutritionists often suggest including one egg per day to provide a reliable protein boost.
This is how the body responds when eggs are part of daily eating. A versatile frying or boiling method makes eggs a convenient option that fits many meals. As a result, the air fryer becomes a flexible tool that enables us to prepare egg dishes in a healthier and faster way.
