Air fryer poached eggs
Using an air fryer to poach eggs can be a good alternative to the traditional stovetop method. When learning how to poach an egg in an air fryer, consistency is key in achieving well-executed poached eggs. Air fryers circulate hot air uniformly within the chamber, ensuring even and controlled cooking. This consistent temperature eliminates guesswork and prevents unevenly cooked whites or overcooked yolks - common pitfalls associated with water-based methods.

- Add 2 tbsp of water to lightly buttered ramekins
- Boil the water in an air fryer at 200c for 4 minutes
