Cooking the perfect poached egg can be difficult for even the most experienced cooks.
Getting that perfect runny yolk and cooking the egg enough to ensure there’s no watery white is a struggle many face.
Plus, there’s the problem of the yolk separating from the white, which can leave you with a clump of cooked egg whites.
However, one woman who claims to have been “absolutely rubbish” at cooking poached eggs believes she’s found the “best” way to master them every single time after spotting a fellow TikToker share their method.
TikTok user @ashleas_kitchen captioned her video: “These were the best poached eggs. I am absolutely rubbish at making these normally, but it was so easy in the air fryer.”

Ashlea started the video showing how perfectly the poached eggs turn out with this method. She said: “I am absolutely rubbish at making poached eggs, and when I saw someone do them the air fryer, I just had to give it a go.”
To make poached eggs in the air fryer households will need a small oven-safe ramekin dish and add some boiling water and olive oil in.
Then just add the egg to the dish and put it in the air fryer at 200C for six minutes.
Once the time was up, Ashlea then poured the water out of the dish and served the “amazing” poached egg on a cheesy crumpet with a sausage patty.

The eggs she made looked to be cooked to perfection, with the perfect runny yellow yolk and springy egg white intact.
She added: “They cooked, so good. They were perfect. Absolutely delicious. I will cook my poached eggs like this every single time now.”
It is not just poached eggs that can be made well in the air fryer, one woman also shared a clever way to make fried eggs using this appliance.
Cooking a fried egg this way is so easy and it should only take three minutes at 160 degrees.
When using this method those who keep their eggs in the fridge, should let them come to room temperature before cooking.
For those who start cooking with a cold egg, they’re more likely to end up overcooking the yolk trying to get the white to set.
