What You'll Learn
How to cook hard-boiled eggs in a Cosori air fryer
Cooking hard-boiled eggs in a Cosori air fryer is a simple and safe process. It is recommended to use the freshest eggs you can buy. You will need an air fryer, eggs, and oven-friendly bakeware. Some recipes suggest using a wire rack, also known as a trivet, for hard-boiled eggs. You can also use a shallow non-stick tray or a small baking pan. If you use ceramic bakeware, grease it with ghee butter, and for non-stick bakeware, use an avocado oil spray.
Before you cook the eggs, you should carefully place them raw into the air fryer basket. Most recipes suggest preheating the basket to 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes. However, some recipes suggest cooking the eggs without preheating the air fryer. If you do preheat the air fryer, you will need less cooking time overall.
Once the air fryer is preheated, set the temperature to 270°F (132°C) and the time to 15-17 minutes. If you are cooking two eggs, 15 minutes should be enough, but for six eggs, you may need 16 or 17 minutes. The number of eggs you are cooking will affect the cooking time, as will the size of the eggs, the temperature of the eggs, the size and brand of the air fryer, and the material of the bakeware.
When the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer and place them into a bowl of ice water to cool to room temperature. This will also stop the cooking process. Once the eggs are cool, you can peel off the shells. If the shells stick, try dipping the eggs in the water or peeling them under the water.

How to cook fried eggs in a Cosori air fryer
To cook fried eggs in a Cosori air fryer, you will need eggs and cooking spray. For the cooking spray, you can use a non-aerosol oil spray such as avocado oil, olive oil, canola oil, or coconut oil. You will also need a 5-inch diameter non-stick pie tin or a shallow non-stick tray/small baking pan.
First, preheat your Cosori air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes. Then, place your pie tin or tray into the air fryer basket. Spray the surface with your cooking spray. Carefully crack an egg into the pie tin or tray. Depending on the size of your air fryer basket or tray, you may be able to cook two eggs at a time.
Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the egg(s) for 3-5 minutes. The cooking time will depend on your desired level of doneness for the yolk. For a runny yolk, 3-4 minutes should suffice. For a firmer yolk, cook for 5 minutes. If you want to cook the yolk thoroughly, flip the egg over with a spatula after 3-5 minutes and cook for another couple of minutes.
After cooking, sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper, if desired. Then, remove the egg from the pan with a spatula. Fried eggs do not reheat or freeze well, so it is best to cook only what you need.

How to cook soft-boiled eggs in a Cosori air fryer
To cook soft-boiled eggs in a Cosori air fryer, start by preheating your air fryer to 250°F to 275°F (132-135°C) for about 5 minutes. If your air fryer doesn't go below 300°F (148°C), set it to that temperature instead. It is important to note that different brands and sizes of air fryers may vary in cooking times and temperatures, so it is recommended to test one or two eggs first to find the ideal time and temperature for your specific air fryer.
Once your air fryer is preheated, carefully place the desired number of raw eggs into the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each egg. Avoid overcrowding the basket, as this can affect the cooking process. Close the air fryer and set the timer. For soft-boiled eggs, cook the eggs for 9 to 12 minutes at 250°F (11 to 12 minutes at 250°F if using a Cosori XL 5.8QT Air Fryer).
While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and then adding cold water until the bowl is about three-quarters full. This ice bath will be used to stop the cooking process and cool the eggs after they are done.
When the timer goes off, carefully remove the eggs from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula and place them directly into the prepared ice bath. Allow the eggs to cool for about 4 to 5 minutes until they are cool to the touch but not ice-cold. This cooling process not only stops the cooking but also makes peeling the eggs easier.
Finally, gently crack and peel the egg shells. You can roll the eggs gently on a hard surface to create cracks along all sides, making it easier to peel them. Your soft-boiled eggs are now ready to be enjoyed!

How to cook scrambled eggs in a Cosori air fryer
To cook scrambled eggs in a Cosori air fryer, you will need eggs and cooking spray. For the cooking spray, you can use a non-aerosol spray such as avocado oil, olive oil, canola oil, or coconut oil. You will also need a 5-inch diameter non-stick pie tin or a shallow non-stick tray.
First, preheat the air fryer basket to 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes. Then, crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and have a pale yellow colour. Next, give the pie tin or tray a light coating of cooking spray and pour the eggs into it. Place the tray in the air fryer and cook at 300°F (149°C) for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, stir the eggs and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. The center of the eggs should be non-watery but still soft and fluffy.
It is important to note that cooking times may vary depending on the model of your air fryer, the size of your eggs, and the temperature of the eggs before cooking. It is recommended to do a test batch of 1-2 eggs first to determine the optimal cooking time for your air fryer. Additionally, always use oven mitts when handling the fryer basket as it will be hot.

How to cook poached eggs in a Cosori air fryer
You can cook poached eggs in a Cosori air fryer in just a few simple steps. The first step is to prepare the air fryer by spraying the custard cups or ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and placing them in the basket of the air fryer. You can use olive oil spray, or ghee butter, for instance.
The next step is to crack the eggs into the ramekins. Using fresh eggs is key for the best results. You can add hot water to the ramekins, which helps to cook the whites more quickly, resulting in a softer yolk. However, you can also cook the eggs without adding water. If you do not add water, keep a close eye on the eggs to prevent overcooking.
Finally, place the air fryer basket into the air fryer and cook for 5-7 minutes, depending on the desired level of doneness. The cooking time will also depend on the model of your air fryer, the size of the eggs, and the temperature of the eggs. For example, a 5.8-quart Cosori air fryer can cook four eggs at a time. Once cooked, carefully remove the ramekins from the air fryer using oven mitts or tongs, and season the eggs with salt and pepper.
