Perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs have never been easier, and the air fryer method delivers consistently set whites and fully cooked yolks every single time. The gentle, even heat at 250°F does all the heavy lifting, so you don't have to babble over a pot of boiling water or guess at timing. Transferring the eggs straight into an ice bath is the real secret — it stops the cooking instantly and makes peeling almost effortless, especially when you start at the wider end where the air pocket sits. With just eggs, ice, and cold water, this recipe is about as clean and straightforward as it gets. Batch a dozen at once and you've got a week's worth of ready-to-eat protein for snacks, salads, or meal prep. No fillers, no sauces, no hidden extras — just eggs done right.
