Pressure cooker hard-boiled eggs aren't any quicker to make (the pressure cooker's usual claim to fame), but here's why it's great: it actually makes fresh eggs easy to peel! If you happen to raise your own chickens or have access to really fresh eggs, a pressure cooker is the best way to make hard-cooked eggs.

Ingredients

2 cups water, or as needed
8 fresh eggs
4 cups cold water
4 cups ice cubes

Directions

Fill a pressure cooker with the minimum amount of water specified by the manufacturer. Place eggs in the steamer basket above the water. Seal the lid and bring the pressure cooker up to low pressure.
Cook, maintaining low pressure, for 6 minutes. Remove the pressure cooker from heat and allow the pressure to drop for 5 minutes.
Combine cold water and ice in a large bowl.
Use the quick-release method to open the pressure cooker. Transfer hot eggs to ice water using an oven mitt or spoon. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips

Letting the pressure cooker reach high pressure will cause eggs to crack.
