Can I cook more or fewer eggs at once in the air fryer?
Yes, you can adjust the quantity, but be careful not to overcrowd the basket. Eggs should be placed in a single layer without touching for even cooking.
How do I know when the eggs are perfectly cooked?
Cooking for 14 minutes will give you slightly softer yolks, while 16 minutes will produce fully firm yolks. You can experiment to find your preferred texture.
