Pressure Cooker Hard-Boiled Eggs
26
Gremolata
"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. It doesn't really save time (the pressure cooker's usual claim to fame), but here's why it's great: it actually makes fresh eggs easy to peel!"

Love cooking eggs this way. I didn't follow the directions completely. Having read reviews across the web, I decided to cook on manual rather than steam. I place 5 eggs on the trivet and added...

Perfect cooking times. With the Insta-Pot we use the steam setting with low pressure. Remove eggs from the ice bath in about three minutes and peel. Have also tried high pressure for 3 minutes,...

Perfection! I have been looking for a way to make pickled eggs. I have a good pickling recipe, but getting the hard boiled eggs properly cooked and out of the shells was a hassle. Now it is easy...

I never thought I'd be enthusiastic about a recipe for boiled eggs. How much difference could it possibly make? As it turns out, a lot. This recipe produces eggs with supple (not rubbery) whi...

We have chickens and I was always so upset that we couldn't hard boil their eggs because of their freshness. Wow, did this recipe change my world! A dozen fresh hard boiled eggs in just 10 minut...
