I've just started to do boiled eggs in my air fryer, i've found for a soft boiled egg it takes 7 minutes on 200 and it's perfect. I have a cosori dual blaze so when i do a fried egg i take the crisper out and put some oil in the bottom and crack an egg in for 3 minutes on 180 and it's perfect, the top is the same as if you had used a frying pan. My last air fryer had a basket instead of a crisper plate so i had to do them in a tin. They never turned out right. What i like about the cosori dual blaze it's so easy to clean, especially compared to having to clean a gas hob, grids, splash back and extract fan as i can't stand a dirty cooker hob. It's a no brainer really. Thank for the work you put into it
Hi Clara, I've yet to try eggs in my A/F but I've hit on a novel way with poached eggs. I use greased microwave mini steam pudding containers, just like your non stick moulds, no faffing about with spirit vinegar swirling in water, load the egg into the greased mould, drop it into rolling boiling water for required time and I get a perfect result every time. It's saved me buying silicone moulds. Job done. Cheers DougT
If that question was to me indy1205 then it's not an exact science 🤔 I just get the pan to a rolling boil (not a furious boil), drop the heatable plastic mini mould into the pan. I seem to find 4+- minutes sufficient, just keep testing with a knife tip, see the yolks firmly in the steaming white and if it doesn't separate then it's done. 😎😁 Buttered toasted seeded batch (Warburton's for me) slices and a mug of Yorkshire Tea and that's my breakfast sorted 👍 It's easier doing it the old school way rather than faffing about timing my A/F Cheers DougT
I see you have a microwave so why not do poached eggs in the microwave put a little water in your pudding bowl and the egg for 1 or 2 minutes no problem and less hassle.
I have just cooked a poached egg to perfection using this method. Although, I have the AF300 model and a square tin will not fit inside, but I did use the metal pudding dish. I placed the pudding dish into the air fryer using the tongs from my halogen oven and removed the same way. However, on trying to drain the water using a slotted spoon, gravity got the better of me and the egg fell into the sink. It was fine and I still ate it. I will use a foil dish next time to help me get it out safely.
I own a small business with a small lunch area. Space is at a premium..we live in Canada. I work with my son and a hot breakfast is helpful to get the day going. One thing he loves…I preheat the Cosori for 3 minutes put 3 strips of bacon cut in half..I keep homeade bagels in the freezer..grab one of those and scramble an egg with salt and pepper in a tiny cake pan..all at 385 for 4 minutes make it into a sandwich with some butter and he loves it.
No, the square pans do not fit the af300, I’m working on a more detailed resource that shows exactly what pans fit in which air fryer, it’s coming soon!
my fav is the slice of buttered white, use a cup to cut out a circle, drop of oil in the hole when you lay down the bread, and then crack the egg into the hole. 4-5 mins @200 and heaven.
The difference between the one cooked in the pudding basin and the one in the silicon bowl was probably because the pudding basin would get hot but the silicon bowl would not so no heat transfer.
Just had extremely hard boiled fried eggs thanks to your advice of cooking 200c for 10 minutes. I knew it was too long & made no sense, but i followed the method regardless.
It just happens that I had a little egg-periment (HAHA) myself too! I wanted to find ways to have nice breakfast without much work, because I rather not eat anything if I need to do stuff for it in the morning. I used ramekins too, thinking that it would give me a much more even result and, and it does. For the base egg mixture I used Helen Rennie's recipe, If someone reads my comment the day I post it it's in her latest video as well. She uses milk and flour, but for a different reason I won't get into. I used it because straight eggs stick like glue and blows up in your face and eggs can get quite hot, but this mixture won't. 135 °C in my air fryer, with 4 very specific ramekins from Tesco, for 20 minutes. Leave them cool in the air fryer if you can. (but open it up right away, because they puff up beautiful, you need to see it!) my basket is 20*20 or 22*22 I can't remember. Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L.
I have a tiny sandwich maker, flat base, £5 does perfect fried eggs, scrambled, omlette 3 mins. Non-stick. 3 egg, egg poacher, water level determines soft medium hard, would not attempt using an Air Blower. Ps check out the cosori 26qt ceramic airfryer oven, has a hotplate at the base leave door open and put a frying pan on the bottom burner.
I’ll add this one to my list. The great thing about air fryers is they are so portable (especially the single drawers) many people take them with them on the road, camping, house Tenno actions etc hence using them in place of a hob
@@CandidClara I know its a standard there, but there was no way for me to know it from this video alone. I was kinda lucky i was drunk and commented, so now i know, but i still left the video and searched for something thats gonna state the info. So feed back, state the measurement, its less friction for the consumer to get to the information.
I have a 20cm frying pan. It cooks my eggs perfectly either fried,scrambled,omelette in less than 3 minutes. Why would you use an air fryer. Boiling water works well for boiled eggs and poached.in 3 minutes. I bought my air fryer toaster oven because it had a spit roast function and basically I have found that is all I use it for. Same with the microwave I only use it for heating my milk for coffee from my nespresso machine. Nothing beats a conventional oven and hob. Unless of course you live off ready meals full of junk.
Im a trucker who wont be able to get a electric pan for a week or so(tight tight budget) I have an air fryer and eggs. didn't want to use microwave. thanks
It is much easier using conventional methods for most of these. With conventional methods, you can check “doneness”, and adjust cooking time accordingly.
@@CandidClara nah it works fine, 170 just isn't hot enough to do anything. I did 270 for 4 and it came out cooked with the yolk not too firm or runny. thanks though!
LOL 😂 Sunny side up I cook on non stick frying pan without oil for 3 minutes instead of your technique with air fryer 10 minutes, may I ask what is the advantage of your way of cooking?
That doesn’t make it smart. Just get a hot plate and a skillet. This feels like when microwaves were young, and people irradiated a myriad of foods, just because. The pressure cooker does hard boiled eggs better, btw.
You can cook lovely soft scrambled eggs stirring in a pot in a couple of minutes. You can cook lovely soft scrambled eggs stirring in a microwave in around one minute. Why on earth would you ever spend five minutes or so doing it in an airfrier.......... P.S. Years ago working in a hotel room service, our excellent basket and chain timer & metal hot water bath egg boiler gave up the ghost. We discovered you could "boil" eggs under a salamander grill for six minutes! You could also use the milk steamer on the coffee machine to make scrambled eggs but had to remember to clean it before making coffees.
Great video but I don't think the air fryer is the best for eggs... the old frying pan was never a problem. We're trying to solve a problem that wasn't a problem.
I don't have time to make breakfast at home before I go to work. At work I have a microwave and a toaster and have been wanting to get an air fryer. I like eggs for breakfast so the air fryer would be a better option than the microwave which I'm now using.
Fried egg 10 mins in airfryer or 2 mins in a frying pan!!! Scrambled eggs looked like rubber Poached eggs 1min in a ramekin of hot water in the microwave🙄
The microwave (TingTing Machine) is faster and easier for scrambling eggs and a frying pan simply makes the BEST fried eggs with a lot less faff. If it ain’t broke….!

Really appreciate the suggestion and flattered that you’d like to see me do a video. Thanks for the comment
Just done this fried egg with the foil, on a muffin and cheese for a snack, just the best, thank you so much xx
You are making me hungry! 😆 Thanks so much for the comment xx
I’ve just tried poaching eggs and it worked! I definitely need to swap my silicone moulds for metal dishes though.
Yes, worth swapping and you can use them for other things too

Thanks - top tips. Do I assume that the air fryer is pre-heated?
No, you don’t need to bother they come to temperature so quickly!
A much needed video. I agree, lots of conflicting advice on RUclips. Just bought a Cosori and love it! Subscribed and value your advice.
Thank you, so pleased to be of help!
Hi Clara, you have added the same link for the Square Tins as for the Pudding Basins
Oh no! Good catch, thank you!!!
Oooh, I will have to give my favorite dish shakshuka a go in the air fryer now! Thanks for the information Clare, great video as usual :) :)
Hi Clara how long and what temp did you do the poached eggs for please?
Apologies, this is the problem with working alone, sometimes you miss the obvious! It’s in the description x

My mate's dad used to make them for us, used to call them "Egg Banjo's"!
Alternative to foil ?
Just curious, why do you want an alternative?
Never enjoyed scrambled eggs until I learnt how to do in MICROWAVE😂
yes microwave is an option for people who have them
The difference between the one cooked in the pudding basin and the one in the silicon bowl was probably because the pudding basin would get hot but the silicon bowl would not so no heat transfer.
Yes silicone is a poor heat conductor, I also advise against silicone liners for this reason
Helpful one… thanks
