TIL you can make perfect hard boiled eggs in an air fryer in 15 minutes

I just saw a post on Serious Eats that said air frying at 270 degrees for 15 minutes gives you eggs with creamy yolks and no green ring, so I tried it this morning and they peeled way easier than my usual stovetop method - anyone else had good results with this?

Wait, did yours actually peel easier or is it just hype?

Fresher eggs always peel harder for me, older ones slide right off.

Tried it three times now. First batch peeled like a dream, second was a total pain. Wonder if it depends on how fresh the eggs are or something. People act like air fryers are miracle machines but I still burn toast in mine all the time.
