My first attempt at air fryer hard boiled eggs ended with egg on my ceiling, here is what finally worked
So last Tuesday I got the bright idea to make hard boiled eggs in my air fryer after seeing like 15 videos about it, and I put 6 eggs straight in at 270 for 15 minutes without a single drop of water in the basket. Around minute 11 I heard a pop that sounded like a firecracker and one of them had cracked open and blown egg bits all over the inside of the unit and somehow a piece hit my ceiling fan and got flung across the kitchen. My wife walked in and just stared at me holding a spatula like an idiot. After I cleaned up the mess I did some reading and it turns out you need to put a little water in the bottom of the basket first, like a quarter cup, and that keeps the shells from getting brittle and cracking under pressure. Next round I did 250 for 16 minutes with the water and they came out perfect, shells slid right off after an ice bath for 5 minutes. Now I do a dozen at a time on Sunday and they last me all week for breakfast. Has anyone figured out a way to keep the shells from cracking without the water trick, or is that just the way it has to be?

Yep the water trick is the only thing that worked for me too.
