How to Cook Hard-boiled Eggs in a 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!
