[AlaMoi]

gosh, I know the media is always in search of the next trillion click post . . .

but this air fryer "trick" is supposed to change your life.

any takers?

 

"Next, she closed the air fryer and set the timer to three minutes at 160 degrees.

Once the three minutes were up, she opened the air fryer and took out two perfectly air-fried eggs."

Why is there what looks to be a round depression in the egg white?  Was there a lid on it?

They don't look at all "perfect" to me.

Those yolks look more solidified that I like.

If you can't fry an egg....

Seems pretty silly and unappetizing to me. And now thanks to post above I've got a brain worm about https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/826584

Not the fried egg of my dreams and it won't be changing my life but some people are using these devices in dorm room or office break rooms so yeah, maybe...and I suppose it could be improved on.

I did "consulting" work for decades - which left me more than anyone ever wanted . . . in places like a Residence Inn with some things defined as 'heat producers' for cooking.

 

that "fried egg" just don't git it - nowhere even close . . .

For a dorm room an A4Box would fry a much better egg.

The Chinese version of TikTok, DouYin has many videos of pre-schoolers frying eggs in miniature frying pans the old fashioned way. All those I have seen did a better job that miserable attempt.

“Change my life”? In that I’ll have start eating bad eggs?

 

I’m ok thanks

looks to me like its been cooked at 160c rather than 160f.

I think 160f (~71c) is about the temperature the white coagulates but the yolk would harden or thicken at a higher temperature so shouldn't be hard. The picture seems to show the yolks already hard.

3 minutes might also be a bit long particularly if the air fryer was to overshoot temperature wise.

Also there is no white "membrane" over the yolks which is a bit odd if it was a low temperature cook.

Theory might be fine but the application of the theory  may leave something to be desired.

Imagine taking the quickest food to fry, and wasting time cooking it in an air fryer when it takes less then 2 minutes in a frying pan.

It does look ugly @AlaMoi !

[ElsieD]

That is one pathetic looking egg.

[AlaMoi]

is there any wonder / question of why the "new" generations are so astonished when they revert to their parent's cooking?
