Cooking Tips for how to cook perfect hard boiled eggs in an instant pot?
- In order to make perfect hard boiled eggs, using an instant pot pressure cooker is crucial.
- Timing is very important. If time is too short, egg yolk is running. On the other hand, when time is too long, egg white texture will be harder. Also, I have tried different times to cook hard boiled eggs. As a result, I like manual 2 minutes and natural release methods because eggs are cooked through, soft and smooth.
- Put eggs into an ice bath right after the natural release is done. Then, let the eggs soak in the ice water for a couple minutes before peeling them. This helps the egg and membrane separate, so the shell comes off easily and has smooth and perfect eggs.
