So I think there’s just a little video magic going on here. First, one has to wonder why you would use such a deep pot to fry an egg. If he bought the accessory kit it came with a shallow cake pan which makes much more sense. Assuming my air fryer is identical to the one used in the video and except for the additional word “max” it conforms to his Cosori 5.8 quart.
he suggests preheating the air fryer at 320°F but neglects to say for how long
But now we are faced with another issue that he manages not to mention or demonstrate. It is almost impossible to insert the basket into the air fryer without tipping it. It is also necessary to use some force to push it in and engage the switch. All this to say that a raw egg obeys the laws of gravity. No matter how fresh it may be it will spread.
I preheated my air fryer at 320°F for five minutes with a teaspoon of bacon fat in a shallow cake pan. Once it was preheated I broke the egg into it. Unfortunately I broke the yolk. Beyond that the egg spread thinly.
I set the temperature again for 320°F and the timer for 4 minutes.
even though it is little more than a thin layer of yolk and white it is decidedly undercooked.
I added another two minutes and it is still undercooked.
by now I was totally fed up and gave it a minute longer at 350°F and called it quits.
Even with a shallow cake pan retrieving the egg was challenging so I can’t imagine how the chap in the video extracted his egg except perhaps by turning it upside down.
Be interested to see if anyone else has better luck.
