Why use the Ninja Foodi for hard-boiled eggs?

The Ninja Foodi provides consistent steaming, resulting in evenly cooked eggs that are easier to peel compared to traditional boiling.

Can I adjust the cooking time for different yolk consistencies?

Yes, reduce the cooking time by 1 minute for softer yolks and increase by 1 minute for firmer yolks.

Why is an ice bath necessary?

The ice bath stops the cooking process and helps the eggs peel more easily by creating a small space between the egg and the shell.
