Notes

  • For 4-quart air fryers and smaller, reduce the cooking temperature to 360°F (182°C). They generate more heat because of the heating element's proximity to the food.
  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, set your desired temperature and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test air frying poached eggs. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
  • We're using hot water to reduce the cooking time. The longer the egg stays in the air fryer, the firmer your egg yolks will become.
  • On that note, avoid leaving your poached eggs in the air fryer beyond the suggested cooking time.
