The EXACT temperature and cooking time you need to make the perfect boiled egg in the air fryer
Ella explained that she'd never realised you could use the cooking device for eggs, so it was a game changer when she figured it out.

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 boiled egg!"
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.
I've figured out how to make the perfect fried eggs - it's so simple, works every time and you don't even need any oil
"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."
Rise of the air fryer
Air fryers have maintained their spot as the most popular kitchen gadget in the UK last year.
Annual sales figures from Lakeland show sales of air fryers were up 1,175% on last year – when they were already soaring in popularity – as households continue their efforts to save energy on standard ovens.
The retailer said: 'In previous years, their popularity could be attributed to consumers seeking healthier cooking options and fast cooking times.
'However, with the cost-of-living crisis continuing, air fryers have a renewed appeal as an efficient alternative to oven cooking.'
The only other products that 'shaped the year' were heated airers – with sales up 51% – and heated textiles, such as heated throws and ponchos, Lakeland said, as households bought gadgets as an alternative to expensive dryers and central and electric heaters.
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.

Smitten Jennifer Aniston shows off holiday glow as her new love guru 'boyfriend' makes bold statement about romance
Jennifer Aniston arrived back in the states on Monday following a vacation with her rumored new boyfriend, hypnotist Jim Curtis, in Mallorca, Spain. Aniston wore loose-fitting light wash blue jeans, a tight white tank top, and a beige sunhat while deplaning with Jason Bateman and other friends in Los Angeles. On the travel day, the 56-year-old actress' latest suitor broke his silence about the getaway, waxing poetic about love and joy. 'I am back from vacation and what an experience!' he wrote in his online newsletter. 'When I was sick, sad, stuck and in pain I never thought I would have the abundance, joy and love I now experience on a daily basis,' he penned, according to Page Six. He added in the correspondence: 'I just took one step, made one decision and the next followed — now I look back and realize, oh! That course, that life change, that pain, resulted in this magic.' The actress' latest suitor waxed poetic about love and joy on Monday as he used his online newsletter to reflect on life, writing, 'I am back from vacation and what an experience!' Although he did not detail any information about the Mallorcan getaway, which saw the duo getting cozy on a yacht, he noted that 'the same life that brings struggle also brings opportunity.' He reminded his subscribers, 'The possibility of something better — more aligned, more free, more meaningful — is always here.' In conclusion, the wellness enthusiast Curtis encouraged his fans to get involved in his coaching group, per the outlet. Aniston is reportedly in a 'very good place right now' amid her budding connection with Curtis. On Sunday multiple sources confirmed to People that the pair is 'casually dating and having fun.' 'They've been seeing each other for a few months now,' one insider shared with the publication. 'They were introduced by a friend and started out as friends.' The Friends star is said to have enjoyed one of his books and 'was familiar with his work' before they hit it off. 'She's really into self-help and wellness. They are dating, but it's still casual,' the source emphasized. 'She's been happy on her own, but she's also open to sharing her life with someone. As long as it feels right.' In comparison to Jennifer's past relationships with public figures — like ex-husbands Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux — the source said Curtis is 'very different from anyone she's dated before' and that 'Jen has read just about every self-help book worth reading and Jim coming into her life has felt like fate.' 'It's been a meeting of minds. Jen feels very connected to Jim as they have the same level of emotional intelligence, unlike some of her previous suitors,' one of the people close to the couple shared. Their loved-up Mallorca sighting came weeks after they holidayed in Big Sur in June. learned Aniston and Curtis stayed at the five-star eco-friendly resort Ventana Big Sur, where they put on a 'cozy' display. The pair were seen 'cuddling up' at the hotel's restaurant, according to onlookers.

Shoppers are rushing to bag Morrisons' Baileys dupe that tastes like Dubai chocolate & you'll have change from a tenner
Plus, the other Dubai chocolate dupes on the market CHOC SHOCK Shoppers are rushing to bag Morrisons' Baileys dupe that tastes like Dubai chocolate & you'll have change from a tenner Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MANY people - and supermarkets - have gone Dubai chocolate mad, and the craze has spread to other products too. Shoppers can now pick up a Dubai Chocolate cream liqueur drink from Morrisons, which could take your next dinner party to the next level. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Morrisons is selling a Dubai chocolate cream liqueur Credit: Tiktok/@newfoundfood 3 Some people have raved about the £7 drink - while others aren't impressed Credit: Tiktok/@newfoundfood TikTok account @newfoundfood uploaded a clip of the bottle in their local supermarket and showed how it costs £7. Despite making the most of the popular flavour, they did not seem impressed with the drink version. They wrote: 'wtf have Morrisons done?' The tipple combines the classic chocolate and nutty pistachio flavouring to deliver a deliciously sweet digestif cream liqueur. Many people were quick to agree with being baffled at the drink. One said: 'Why does EVERYTHING have to be Dubai chocolate.' Another added: 'Nope.' However, some people did seem impressed with the liquor, with one writing: 'tbf it is banging.' Donovan's Dubai Chocolate Style Country Cream Liqueur is available in Morrisons stores nationwide and online. It comes after Lidl was forced to place a shopping limit on its Dubai Chocolate-inspired exotic treat. Shoppers in frenzy over cheapest Dubai chocolate arrival in major Irish store at just €1.79 The Della Sante Dubai Style Chocolate Cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form. That means you can slather it on toast, pile it onto pancakes, dip fruit in it or even spoon it from the jar. The sweet and salty pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members, which is far more expensive than the store's other chocolate spreads. However, the price tag is not deterring customers, and the shop was forced to implement a strict three-jar-only policy. The Sun recently spotted a queue outside the Gosport, Hampshire, store at 8am with shoppers eagerly waiting for the doors to open. 3 Dubai chocolate - with its nutty pistachio flavour - has boomed in popularity this year Credit: Getty Chocolate fans have been going crazy for supermarket dupes of the expensive Dubai chocolate bars and they've been going viral on social media. Lidl's version was the cheapest when it was brought out at £3.99. Before it arrived in stores, the chocolate bar had been available on Lidl's TikTok Shop. It wasn't around for long though as it sold out in a mere 84 minutes. Numerous supermarkets and bargain stores have been jumping on the Dubai-style chocolate trend. One of the most-anticipated was the M&S version, which it turned out was a new take on the viral Big Daddy chocolate bar. The Big Daddy Pistachio is on the pricier end, costing £8.50 for a big 280g bar. Similarly posh supermarket Waitrose also released a version for £10.

I tried all the supermarket cloudy lemonades – refreshing 90p winner is perfect drink for a summery day
WHEN it comes to refreshing summer sips, nothing quite hits the spot like traditional cloudy lemonade. But shoppers at Tesco have had to find a substitute after the store removed it from its soft drinks range. Lovers of the fizz have been pleading online for it to be reinstated. Meanwhile, which other own-brand bottles of pop can they turn to? Laura Stott samples a selection and gives her verdict. Diet Lemonade with Lemon Juice, 330ml, 55p, Tesco WITH Tesco's traditional-style cloudy lemonade being withdrawn, what I found left on the shelves instead was this lemonade made with 2 per cent lemon juice. So it's easy to see why shoppers who usually buy the 'old-fashioned' style drink are not happy. While there is nothing wrong with this version, the flavour is just not the same. It is described as sherbet- tasting, but it's more like a plain lemonade and the disappointing fruit flavour is very wishy-washy. There also is no yellowy colour, which that is part of the enjoyment of the traditional drink. It's artificial tasting and lacking in zing. Hardly comparable to a delicious chilled glass of the original cloudy fizz. An unsatisfying substitute. Rating: 2/5 Cloudy Lemonade, 750ml £3.50, M&S THIS yummy real lemonade in its fancy glass bottle is rammed with the taste of juicy Italian fruits – and is the posh bottle to buy if you want to treat yourself or you are having people over. Made with 4 per cent Sicilian lemon juice and an additional 4 per cent puree on top, this double whammy really elevates the juiciness. Combined with carbonated water, it's incredibly moreish and hits the perfect spot between sweet and sharp. There is no escaping the fact this is a costlier option, and 750ml won't go that far. I'd suggest this is one best kept for the grown-ups to enjoy as a nice alcohol-free offering, or to have at a summer barbecue or garden party. It is expensive but if you are buying as a booze-free alternative, it isn't bad value. Would be a good mixer for summer cocktails. Rating: 3/5 Vive Lemon Zero Sugar, 85p, 2 litres, Aldi ALDI'S lemon sparkling drink is a good price, but the two-litre bottle was no better value than most of the other own-brand options. It also contains a slightly lower amount of lemon juice from concentrate than many of the other supermarket offerings. They predominantly contain 4 per cent fruit juice, whereas this one is lower at just 3 per cent . That said, the flavour is a little different, perhaps closer to one of the big-brand fizzy lemon drinks, rather than a traditional summertime 'cloudy' lemonade recipe. I found it sweeter, too, which was not to my taste. But that can be a matter of personal preference. It reminded me of a lemon drink you might buy on holiday to slurp as a change from a cola by the swimming pool. Rating: 2/5 Cloudy Lemonade, 6 x 330ml cans, Sainsbury's, £2.05 BUYING fizzy drinks as individual cans is a great way to make sure pop does not end up being wasted and poured down the sink when it goes flat. And while this multi-pack is a little pricier at the till, the price per can is not too painful. A super way to quench your thirst on a hot day. There's plenty of the lemon flavour that you want in these sunny sippers, which can be enjoyed nice and chilled. The bright and bold citrus flavour certainly refreshes your palate and perks you up. The downside of drinking it this way is you don't get to enjoy the 'cloudy' colour, unless you pour it into a glass. On the plus side, it's perfect for picnics or for drinking on the go. A very good glug. 4/5 Diet Cloudy Lemonade, 2 litres, 90p, Co-op A VERY stylish big bottle of pop from the Co-op, with a fun label that adults won't be embarrassed to have in the fridge. It has a gorgeous vibrant yellow colour too! A bit more citrus flavour than some of the other supermarket options, thanks to a combination of lemon juices that provide this one with a lovely balance point between tart and sweet. A little less gassy than some other options. It seems a bit softer and gentler to sip, which I rather enjoyed. But if you prefer the bubbles-up-your-nose sensation of a fizzy drink, you might want one with a bit more 'pop'. It also means it is likely to go flat faster. Very refreshing and tasty though, and packed with traditional and comforting fruity flavour. Delicious, and a perfect drink on a summery day. Rating: 5/5 Cloudy Lemonade, 2 litres, 80p, Morrisons THIS no-added-sugar fizz from Morrisons has a delicious cloudy hue that had the strongest citrus colour of all the bottles of pop I slurped. Made with 4 per cent concentrated lemon, it gives you all the soft tang of the fruit but it has been made more palatable with the addition of some sweetness. Very bubbly and fizzy, so a chilled glass of this on a warm day really hits the spot for refreshing you and quenching your thirst. I did find it had a slightly artificial aftertaste, but that's not uncommon with any carbonated drinks that have sucralose added to them. A lovely warm-weather sip that will be a great fridge standby at this time of year. Very good value, too. Rating: 4/5 Diet Cloudy Lemonade, 2 litres, 82p, Asda LOADS of lemon bubbles for your bucks in Asda's own citrus fizz, which is tangy and tasty. While not as sharp or tingly on the tongue as some others, it is still packed with the flavours of the fruit. A very pale yellow-green cloudy colour which, when chilled, looks delicious. You'll be pleased to pour out a glass of this to quench your thirst on a hot day, and it's even better over ice. It is made with 4 per cent concentrated juice and is another supermarket slurper to come as a diet option. If you fancy a change from a plain lemonade, the fruit flavour really does elevate this to a more enjoyable drink. It would make a super mixer with spirits such as vodka or gin.
