Have you ever tired to make hard boiled eggs, but...

Don’t know.

Crazy that the instapot isn't quicker than the traditional method for hard boiled eggs.

It’s about the same length of time but the pressure cooking seems to make the shells come off much easier and there is none of the green lines inside. Saw something online about cooking hard boiled eggs in an air fryer. Did half a dozen in the air fryer, and a half dozen in the instapot from the same carton.
I threw away the ones cooked in the air fryer after trying to peel two of them.
Instapot eggs just wiped the shell off.
Done the conventional way on the stovetop has always yielded mixed results getting the shell off for us anyway.

If your talking about cooking eggs in the instapot, it’s pressure cooked.No

No sir. But 12 - 14 minutes is normal without the instapot as well.

I have no idea how you managed to do that. Hard boiled eggs are generally cooked roughly twice as long as soft boiled.

I’ve managed a couple times using the instapot, I figure I didn’t add enough water. Last time I reduced the time by a minute or two because they were smaller eggs and they were undercooked.

If you're making hard boiled eggs, and you aren't using one of these, you're wasting your time.

Neatest thing since sliced bread.

I got mine off of the amazons, and have purchased several as gifts. They have all gotten rave reviews from the giftees.

If you're a boiled egg guy, you need one of these.

Don't keep us in suspense! LOL.

12 minutes in the instapot will produce the perfect boiled egg that will shed the shell with a swipe of the hand.
I love deviled eggs with fine diced jalapeño in the yolk.
Eggs over easy for breakfast

OK, Dennis...

...give up the secret recipe for amount of water and/or temperatures. Wife has been trying every other method to getting easy to peel hard boiled eggs. I think the pressure cooker is the only thing she hasn't tried.

Just get one of these and be done with it.

Pop 'em in and in about 7 minutes you get a perfect hard boiled egg.

If you like them a little under cooked, take them out right at the buzzer. I like mine hard with no dark spots in the yolk, so I leave mine in until all of the water is gone from the pan. If you go off an leave them you'll get a little green on the yolk, and I don't like that either.

I drop mine in a cold water bath after I take them out to let them cool and it is unusual for the shell not to peel in a single piece. I crack mine all over and the the shell just pretty much wipes away from the egg. You can't boil an egg any easier.

Somebody showed us once that you can drop the boiled egg into an empty glass (we used like a cheap plastic promotional glass) and swirl it around the bottom fairly quickly for a few seconds. Take it out and the shell just peels right off. We don't boil a lot of eggs but tried it a couple of times, and it seemed to work pretty well. I think they had cooled for a little while, don't remember if we ran any cold water over them before.
