Air fryer revolution: Perfect eggs made easy and oil‑free
In this simple device, you can prepare a variety of dishes—not just fries, but also vegetables, chicken, and fish. We're talking about an air fryer, which will soon become a staple in every kitchen. It turns out that this versatile appliance is also suitable for cooking eggs, both soft-boiled and hard-boiled. The whites come out nicely set, while the yolks remain creamy, and the shells peel off easily.
It's no wonder the air fryer is gaining popularity. Compared to a high-quality oven, it's inexpensive and compact, making it an excellent alternative for studios and apartments with small kitchenettes. Moreover, it allows you to prepare crispy snacks with minimal or no fat, appealing to those who prioritize a healthy diet.
Eggs from the air fryer – no need to watch for bubbles
The quest to cook the perfect soft-boiled or hard-boiled egg has been a trending topic for a while. Even scientists from Naples have delved into this issue, conducting numerous experiments and testing hundreds of eggs. Their findings are indeed surprising, but it's much simpler to prepare eggs in an air fryer. Hard-boiled eggs take no more than 15 minutes, and the yolks turn out creamy, as if prepared using the sous vide method.
