Hello Friends,
We're switching things up today, and I'm going to share with you my new best way to boil eggs. For years, I did it this way, and it worked great.
But now I use my Instant Pot and make the best "boiled" eggs ever, at least in my opinion.
Plug in your Instant Pot and insert a steamer basket if you have one. If you don't, there should be a rack that came with the pot. Add your eggs and one cup of water. Then set the pressure to high (I always use high for everything) and set the timer for 5 minutes. When the pot beeps to signal they are done, then set a timer for 5 more minutes.
After that, release the remaining pressure - there shouldn't be much. Remove the eggs and place them into a pot with a lid. Add cold water and let them sit for about 5 minutes. Drain the water, replace the lid and shake vigorously for a few seconds. Unless you started with really fresh eggs, which naturally are more difficult to peel, these should just about slide out of their shells.
If you note the picture above, one did actually shell itself.
I hope today's post finds you well, and gives you an alternative for boiling eggs.
