Hi Clara, I've yet to try eggs in my A/F but I've hit on a novel way with poached eggs. I use greased microwave mini steam pudding containers, just like your non stick moulds, no faffing about with spirit vinegar swirling in water, load the egg into the greased mould, drop it into rolling boiling water for required time and I get a perfect result every time. It's saved me buying silicone moulds. Job done. Cheers DougT
If that question was to me indy1205 then it's not an exact science 🤔 I just get the pan to a rolling boil (not a furious boil), drop the heatable plastic mini mould into the pan. I seem to find 4+- minutes sufficient, just keep testing with a knife tip, see the yolks firmly in the steaming white and if it doesn't separate then it's done. 😎😁 Buttered toasted seeded batch (Warburton's for me) slices and a mug of Yorkshire Tea and that's my breakfast sorted 👍 It's easier doing it the old school way rather than faffing about timing my A/F Cheers DougT
I see you have a microwave so why not do poached eggs in the microwave put a little water in your pudding bowl and the egg for 1 or 2 minutes no problem and less hassle.
The difference between the one cooked in the pudding basin and the one in the silicon bowl was probably because the pudding basin would get hot but the silicon bowl would not so no heat transfer.
my fav is the slice of buttered white, use a cup to cut out a circle, drop of oil in the hole when you lay down the bread, and then crack the egg into the hole. 4-5 mins @200 and heaven.
It just happens that I had a little egg-periment (HAHA) myself too! I wanted to find ways to have nice breakfast without much work, because I rather not eat anything if I need to do stuff for it in the morning. I used ramekins too, thinking that it would give me a much more even result and, and it does. For the base egg mixture I used Helen Rennie's recipe, If someone reads my comment the day I post it it's in her latest video as well. She uses milk and flour, but for a different reason I won't get into. I used it because straight eggs stick like glue and blows up in your face and eggs can get quite hot, but this mixture won't. 135 °C in my air fryer, with 4 very specific ramekins from Tesco, for 20 minutes. Leave them cool in the air fryer if you can. (but open it up right away, because they puff up beautiful, you need to see it!) my basket is 20*20 or 22*22 I can't remember. Xiaomi Smart Air Fryer Pro 4L.
A much needed video. I agree, lots of conflicting advice on UA-cam. Just bought a Cosori and love it! Subscribed and value your advice.
thanks clara for taking time to show us btw your looking lovely
Oh bless you, thank you for that kind comment!
Oooh, I will have to give my favorite dish shakshuka a go in the air fryer now! Thanks for the information Clare, great video as usual :) :)
Just bought 6" tins, thanks for the recommendation
No problem, I think you’ll get a lot of use out of them

But do you eat them with Marmite toast? That is the important question!
@@CandidClara errrrr nooo way José
I didn't hear a time and temp for your poached eggs.

Hi Clara, you have added the same link for the Square Tins as for the Pudding Basins
Oh no! Good catch, thank you!!!
Thank you for this video! Can you tell me where the non-stick tins are from, please? 😊
Yes, from Amazon, this is the link… amzn.to/48kCxBs

Could you please tell me where to get the square baking tins from
Sorry, I messed up the links, but here is the correct one amzn.to/48kCxBs
Oh lovely absolutely brilliant thank you very much
🧡
What was the time and temperature for the poached egg?
Oh my word, I cannot believe I forgot this in the video, I’m so sorry. I do them at 170c for 7 minutes on air fry
@@CandidClara I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I will give your settings a go.
Eggs in an air fryer…. that’s witchcraft!! Great, enjoyable, content as always 🎉
😆😆😆
Wow so much easier than using a frying pan 😂
People do them in an air fryer for a number of reasons, including not having a hob
Its quicker on my induction hob and less washing up.
Just saying......
Yes of course, but sometimes people don’t have hobs (people actually take air fryers camping these days) or just want to! 🤷♀️
First!
