Air-Fryer Poached-Egg Method Gains Traction With 5–7 Minute Ramekin Approach

A taste.com TikTok outlines using boiled water in individual oven-safe dishes at 200C to poach eggs at home.

Overview

  • The method calls for placing each egg in its own oven-safe ramekin filled with freshly boiled water before air-frying.
  • Recommended settings are 200C for five minutes for runny yolks, six minutes for softer results, and seven minutes for firmer eggs.
  • Instructions specify adding roughly 250ml of water to each ramekin so the level sits halfway up the sides.
  • A safety warning advises using an oven mitt or tea towel when lifting the hot ramekins from the air-fryer basket.
  • User feedback is mixed, with some extending the cook time or preferring stovetop poaching and others pointing to microwave shortcuts, including a 60‑second fried‑style egg that requires pricking the yolk.
