minus-squareJasonDJ@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoI made boiled (well, steamed) eggs in my instant pot and they came out perfect… Put eggs on trivet/riser. Add 1c water. Lid on, sealed. 5 minutes high pressure. 5 minutes off and sealed. 1 minute venting. 5+ minutes ice bath. The ice bath is the critical part. The shells slide off.

minus-squareJasonDJ@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months ago60 eggs all at once, or 5 batches of a dozen each? As I understand it, you should be able to pile the eggs on in there, they shouldn’t move like they would in a full rolling boil. But at the same time, I had been warned not to put all of my eggs together.
