Air Fryer Boiled Eggs Making boiled eggs in an air fryer is simple and efficient, and it doesn’t require any water. You’ll get perfectly cooked eggs every time with a slightly different texture compared to traditional stovetop boiling.

Cool the Eggs: Once the eggs are done cooking, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket. Use tongs or a spoon to a...

Chop into smaller pieces. Add to a large bowl. Add celery to the bowl. Toss the crab and celery together. Add the mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning, dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine. Pour the dressing over the crab and celery mixture. Gently stir to combine all ingredients. Cover the bowl of salad. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy!

I think I might try adding cooked shrimp the next time, just to see if it'd be a nice change.
