Can I cook more than four eggs?
Yes, as long as your air fryer basket has enough space for the ramekins without overcrowding.
Do I need vinegar?
No. Unlike traditional poaching, the air fryer method doesn’t require vinegar.
Can I use silicone cups?
Yes. Oven-safe silicone muffin cups or egg cups work well as long as they hold the water and egg securely.
Why are my eggs overcooked?
Air fryer temperatures vary between brands. Reduce the cooking time by 30–60 seconds during your next batch.
