The Hob Method: It’s the age-old way to get those eggs boiled. Fill your kettle, boil the water, pop it on the hob, and wait. Six and a half minutes later, you should be ready to dive in. But will they crack in the water? Sometimes, yes.

The Air Fryer Trick: Here’s a TikTok sensation! Just preheat your air fryer, drop your egg in, and let it cook for nine minutes. Sounds simple enough, right? No water, no hob, just plug and play. I was skeptical, but the results were egg-citing!

The Results? After cooling both eggs in an ice bath, it was down to peeling. While neither made shell removal a breeze, the air-fried egg had a lovely, soft, jam-like centre that stole my heart. It was quicker overall, with less hassle and washing up.

So, if you’re up for a culinary adventure, try the air fryer method next time you fancy a boiled egg. Your breakfast (and dishes) might thank you! 🥑🥚 #Eggsperiment #AirFryerMagic
