How to Cook Hard-boiled Eggs in a Pressure Cooker

hard boiled eggs in the pressure cooker

“I love eggs, from my head down to my legs…”

Today, I’m going to share all about how I cook hard-boiled eggs in a pressure cooker. And y’all, these hard-boiled eggs peel perfectly, every time! I haven’t made hard-boiled eggs any other way since learning this method.

If you cook hard-boiled eggs in a pressure cooker, even “fresh from the chicken” eggs peel perfectly. Normally those eggs don’t peel well; all the white comes off and it looks like a train wreck!  But you won’t have that problem when cooking eggs using your pressure cooker!

I don’t have one of those hip Instant Pots, but I’ve got a normal stove top pressure cooker that I’ve had for a few years. I do have a more expensive one too, but I honestly prefer my cheap stainless steel Presto Pressure Cooker. It helps get my usual kitchen tasks done so.much.faster! I probably use my pressure cooker once a day, sometimes more. Dinner can be ready in 30 minutes (from start to finish), since it cooks in 1/3 of the time! Be sure to check out Pinterest (pressure cooker and instant pot recipes are both good searches); there are oodles of recipes you can try.

I like to cook hard-boiled eggs – never soft-boiled. I just don’t like runny eggs. They make me runny away!  But if you prefer your eggs more on the soft-boiled side, you can go ahead and cook for a minute or two less. And did I mention that these eggs peel perfectly?  I give each egg a quick smack on the counter and the eggs practically fall out of the shells. Sometimes the shell even comes off in one piece!

Go forth and boil you some eggs!

Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs (Pressure Cooker)

Ingredients:

  • 7-10 eggs
  • 1 cup water (for boiling)
  • 1 cup cool water (after boiled)

Instructions:

  1. Place the eggs on a trivet in the bottom of your pressure cooker. (I prefer to do a single layer, but I have stacked before and they turned out okay.)
  2. Pour a cup of water into the pressure cooker and secure the lid.
  3. Turn the pressure cooker on to high pressure over medium-high heat. This takes about 5 minutes.  Then, set a timer for 7 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
  4. When the time goes off, turn off the heat and bring it down from pressure immediately. If you don’t want to wait, bring the cooker to the sink and run cold water on top until the pressure releases.
  5. Pour out the hot water, and cover the eggs with cool tap water.
  6. When they are cool enough to handle, peel carefully.
  7. Store in the refrigerator.

If you hate it, just scroll on by. 🤍 But it was helpful to us. 🥰⠀
⠀
Often, I have a hard time getting my kids to remember things I’ve taught them, like how to properly clean a toilet or clean mirrors. “I forgot.”⠀
⠀
You know what they don’t forget? Stuff they watch on You Tube. 🤪🤪⠀
⠀
So I went to You Tube and sourced kid videos about cleaning the bathroom. The kids all watched them. ⠀
⠀
Now they’re all cleaning their own bathrooms. Boom. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worked for us. ⠀
⠀
** Just search on YT for “kid cleaning videos” and see what you find. Different parents have different parameters for what they allow. Barry and I screened videos first but each person can find their own. ❤️🤍

Hard times can make us or break us.

Our family experienced some big changes and shocks and pruning (removing) in 2021. Some days I didn’t want to get out of my house or my bed.⠀
⠀
But already we are coming out of darkness into His wonderful light and I can see - I can see the benefits of hard times. ⠀
⠀
New beautiful growth and hope. ❤️⠀

What is one benefit YOU have experienced from hard times?
This culture has nothing to offer our family.⠀
⠀
I lived for too long believing that hustle was to the benefit of this family. ⠀
⠀
God’s call upon our life isn’t to hustle and grind our days away while we prove our worth and see our success. ⠀
⠀
No, friends. It’s God’s desire that when people look at you and me, they don’t see US or what WE accomplished but instead say:⠀
⠀
Wow, only God did that. ⠀

The Myers aren’t building an empire. We are building our family, day by day. Tiny moment by tiny moment. 🤍
