Cooking boiled eggs in an air fryer actually works well

Don't trust anything on the Internet-until Mashable tries it first. Welcome to the Hype Test, where we will review viral trends and tell you what is truly worthy of millions of praise.

The concept behind this story is simple. I saw a TikTok about air fried eggs, listen, I will not give up the opportunity of air fried eggs.

This is really a strange idea. But when I saw TikTok, I also immediately thought it might be useful.

TikTok user Jackie Hartlaub posted a video in which she blew whole eggs in the air at a temperature of 275 degrees for 15 minutes to make hard-boiled eggs. The resulting eggs are not boiled eggs in the literal sense-they are never submerged in water after all-but they do look like boiled eggs. This makes a lot of sense to me. Boiled eggs are cooked by completely surrounding them with water at a constant temperature. In theory, an air fryer would circulate air at a constant temperature and cook eggs in the same consistent way.

Many people seem to be interested in hackers because it has 4 million views in a day.

Hartlaub's process is as follows, he is also known as @LowCarbStateOfMind on TikTok.

So I decided to test this recipe. If I can put the eggs in the air fryer for 15 minutes, and then they will be fully cooked, that would be great. In addition, I strangely need hard-boiled eggs—a food I don’t eat much—to make this Salmorejo recipe for Spanish cold soup.

I preheat the air fryer to 275 degrees, then put the eggs in for 15 minutes, this is Hartlaub's recipe. I prepared a bowl of ice and let the eggs soak for five minutes after they were cooked. This is also part of the recipe.

This is what my air fryer egg hacked version looks like.

I mean, look at the results. This looks like a hard-boiled egg. However, there are some problems. I had trouble peeling a few eggs, but honestly, this might be my problem. I am not an exquisite kitchen task. In addition, some eggs have one or two egg whites and turned a little brown, but this did not change the taste of the eggs at all.

Otherwise, TikTok hack is a pretty good way to "cook" eggs. It takes less time than boiling, because preheating an air fryer to 275 degrees takes much less time than boiling a large pot of water. From there, I made the eggs in 20 minutes, including 15 minutes of cooking time and 5 minutes of ice bath time. The recipe also provides consistent results for five eggs, which is all you can ask for. In addition, if you prefer your eggs to be softer, slightly adjusting the cooking time should produce softer eggs.

So you have it, you can air fried eggs.
