Chef’s Note
I feel ice baths are a very important step when hard boiling eggs. The ice bath cools them quickly to stop the cooking process. The egg also contracts in the bath, making it easier for you to remove the shell. After the ice bath, you can quickly remove the shell without worry about breaking apart the egg.

Can this be made ahead of time
Yes, you can make these a day or two in advance, and they will last in the fridge for up to a week. Peel an hour before eating. Be sure they get to the refrigerator within an hour or two for safety.
How to Store Hard Boiled Eggs
- Storing: After preparing, don’t leave them at room temperature for more than 2 hours. You can keep the eggs in the fridge for up to 1 week. Left unpeeled, they can be kept uncovered in a bowl in the refrigerator. But it’s better if kept in an airtight container, to prevent them from absorbing any fridge odors. If you’ve already taken the shell off, seal them in an airtight container with a damp paper towel so they don’t dry out.
- Freezing: It’s best not to freeze Hard-Boiled Eggs since the egg whites will become tough.
FAQs
Yes, you can use eggs of different sizes, but keep in mind that the cooking time will need to be adjusted depending on the size of the eggs. Smaller eggs, like quail eggs, will cook more quickly and be ready in 3-5 minutes at 300 degrees. Any size chicken egg will be the same cooking time listed on this recipe.
If you don’t have a grill rack, you can place the eggs directly in the air fryer basket and cook according to the recipe instructions. The rack just helps with circulation but since only a tiny portion of the egg actually touches the bottom, not having a rack won’t ruin the recipe.
For a softer yolk, simply reduce the cooking time to 8 or 9 minutes, depending on how soft you’d like it to be.
