I recently started using a pressure cooker (instant pot brand) to make hard cooked eggs. I use a 4 minute cooking time, instant release the pressure, then plunge the eggs right away into cold water to stop their cooking.
Even fresh eggs peel perfectly.
- giantg2 5y agoThanks! I'm going to have to try that.
- js2 5y agoHmm, seems serious eats doesn't agree, but I've tried everything over the years and the instant pot has worked best for me. https://www.seriouseats.com/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boiled-eggs https://www.seriouseats.com/the-secrets-to-peeling-hard-boil...
- drost 5y agoI poach eggs for breakfast in my InstantPot. 3 eggs for 5 minutes on steam. I've found that eggs with orange yolks tend towards a jammy texture, but yellow yolks tend towards a drier texture.
- ncmncm 5y agoWhen poaching eggs in water the usual way, a tablespoon of vinegar in the water keeps them together, not scattered all over the pan.
- googlryas 5y ago+1 to pressure cooker for a few mins + cold water bath. I tried all the tricks normally stated for hard boiling eggs, and always had half the eggs just refusing to come out of their shell. 100% of the time with my instant pot they just slip out of the shell.
