How high is too high to air fry a hard boiled egg?

Everything I see says to air fry your eggs at around 270 degrees. Why not 400 at shorter time? Will this cause problems?

I know I could try, but hoping someone else already has so I don't have to clean up an explosion in case that would happen. :)

It sounds like you're talking about roasting eggs in the shell in your air fryer, rather than frying them.

All recipes I found for doing so (example) limit the heat to 325F/160C. Above that, the eggs will reportedly explode. The reason for the even lower temperature limit on the air fryer is probably because, with its rapid convection, the air fryer heats the eggs even faster.
