And after some experimenting, she found the ideal cooking temperature and length for eggs.

She then took to TikTok to share her top tip – cooking the eggs at 180 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes.

“I could eat boiled eggs for the rest of my life,”; she said.

“Let me introduce you to the perfect“

After cooking the eggs, Ella took it out and placed it in a bowl of cold water to cool them down.

She then attempted her usual way of peeling the eggs – taught to her by her grandmother – tapping the shell before rolling it.

However, the hack didn’t work, which Ella said was probably down to the fact it was cooked in the air fryer.

“The air fryer egg though,”; she added, after breaking it apart to show the perfectly runny yolk and firm white.

“The only life hack you need,”; she captioned the video.

“My initial thought was just because you can...”; one person commented on the TikTok.

“Does it mean you should?!

“But my flabber was ghasted when it didn’t explode and was still gooey!

“Every day is a school day!”;

“No way!! I’m trying this for sure,”; another added.

“You telling it it doesn’t explode?”; a third questioned.

“I tried microwaving and it almost launched my microwave door into orbit.”;

While others took to the comments section to share their own hacks for successfully peeling eggs.

“Crack the top small and bottom larger,”; one wrote.

“Blow the egg HARD from the top.

“You gotta get a firm grip on the egg with your hands and put the top of the egg really close to your mouth.

“Like you’re trying to blow a balloon.”;

“Use a spoon to peel an egg... game changer!”; another insisted.

“If you peel boiled eggs under water it peels even smoother. Like sooo smooth,”; a third commented.
