FAQs
Can I cook eggs straight from the fridge in the air fryer?
It’s best to use eggs at room temperature to prevent cracking and ensure even cooking. If using refrigerated eggs, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
What if my eggs crack during air frying?
Cracking can happen if eggs are placed too close together or if they are very cold. Make sure eggs are spaced out and at room temperature before cooking to reduce the risk of cracking.
