Hard Boiled Eggs In The Electric Pressure Cooker Food

HARD BOILED EGGS IN THE ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER

Steps:

• 1. Get your electric pressure cooker set up according to your directions of your unit. Put a trivet, metal rack or like me, a metal steaming basket, that can fold up, into the bottom of the cooker. Add 2 cups of water. The first couple of times, I used canning rings to keep the eggs separated, but abandoned this step. I did not have any problems with the eggs breaking. I decided that 10 med/large eggs was just right for my household so this is the amount I used. I used cold eggs right out of the refrigerator. Lay the eggs on top of your trivet. Remember you are steaming the eggs. Do not let the eggs touch the water.
• 2. Close the lid and lock it (according to your units directions). Plug it in. Push the start button, and select 7 minutes. The pressure cooker will start the countdown after it has reached the required pressure.
• 3. So after the timer goes off. Let the cooker release the pressure slowly (about 5 to 10 minutes).Open lid and remove eggs..
• 4. I suppose each electric pressure cooker will be a little different, so the first time you make your eggs, I would open one up and see that it is done enough. The first time I had 6 minutes and then restarted the pressure cooker for one more minute because they were just barely done. If your eggs are room temperature, I would shorten the time by a minute.
• 5. These hard "boiled" eggs can be put into a bowl, let them cool and then set in the refrigerator until you need them. No need to set in ice water unless you need them right away.
• 6. These eggs peel very easy. I tried to show in the photo, but it did not show it very well. If you want to use 6 to 8 eggs, set the timer for 6 minutes.
• 7. Update: 3-5-21 If you find a few of your eggs are cracked or have brown spots you need to adjust your pressure time lower. 5-5-5 pressure cook 5 min, unplug and leave for 5 min and then release pressure let sit for 5 on counter or ice water . I did try the 4-6-10 and the eggs where just fine in the Ninga foodie.
• 8. I did find that after the hard boiled eggs, still in the shell, sit in the refrigerater for a while, they may start to be hard to peel. I put a damp paper napkin in the bottom of the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. This keeps them from drying out.
