# Eggs in an air fryer

**eggs in an air fryer: 130 °C / 266 °F for 10–16 min**

Eggs has no conventional oven equivalent — an air fryer replaces a different method here. 130 °C for 10–16 min.

## Side by side

|  | Oven | Air fryer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Temperature | — | 130 °C / 266 °F |
| Time | — | 10–16 min |
| Preheat | — | Yes, 3 minutes |
| Turn or shake | — | Not needed |

## The temperature that actually decides it

**Safe internal temperature: 71 °C / 160 °F**

Times above are for planning. Whether eggs is done is decided by the internal temperature and nothing else — appliance wattage varies by roughly a factor of two across the category, and thickness changes the time more than any setting does. A probe thermometer in the thickest part is the only reliable answer.

## What goes wrong

- There is no oven equivalent — this replaces boiling rather than baking, which is why no oven figure is given.
- Straight from the fridge onto the rack, no water. 10 minutes at 130 °C gives a soft yolk, 15 a firm one.
- Into cold water immediately afterwards, or they keep cooking and the yolk greys.

> Air fryer wattage and basket size vary widely, so treat the first batch as a calibration run and write down what worked. These figures are compiled guidance, not a published standard. Timings vary noticeably between models; treat the first batch as a calibration run.
