Being able to make a mess of hard boiled eggs all at once was one of the big selling points when I got my Instant Pot. I mean, yes, I know how to make them on the stove and all. And I’ve had every egg-making gadget under the sun.
But an all-in-one appliance that could promise predictably fuss-free Instant Pot hard boiled eggs? I was SO IN. Until I joined an Instant Pot community, that is…
Much Ado over Hard Boiled Eggs 😵
New people ask about making hard boiled eggs, and all of a sudden, people start spouting out opinions and numbers like the secret combination to open the perfect-hard-boiled-egg safe. “7-6-7, 5-5-5, 6-3-5, blah blah blah.” Turns out, these formulas were cook time, release time and ice-water bath time. But so many numbers…
And by the time I’m figuring out what it all means, I’m getting way bored. Plus, I’m prone to distraction. So my middle 5 could turn into 17 before I know what’s happening. ⏱️😬 I didn’t just need an easy Instant pot recipe. I needed the EASIEST Instant Pot Hard Boiled Egg Recipe.
If I was a ‘timing-everything-perfectly’ sort of cook, I wouldn’t need the danged Instant Pot! So I experimented until I found an approach that’s better suited to my laissez-faire cooking style. That would be this! Let the egg-making commence. 👏
This works for me every time, without all the fussy formulas. Hope it’s helpful to you!
