I’m doing a little “egg”speriment today! I am trying out 2 different methods of cooking eggs in the Instant Pot and sharing the results with you. Subscribe to my 365 …
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with the Instapot. It is all good information to know.
What is 5-5-5? You clearly cooked 5 minutes, maybe left it on “keep warm” for 5 minutes, then what is the last 5? You were much clearer about the other method 😕
After cooking is done put it in a bowl and run cold water on it while injecting some soya sauce through the shell using those small meat syringes. Let them sit for a few mins. Trust me it’s delicious. Best way to eat hard boiled eggs
I don't have a 'manual' setting on mine, so I used poultry for 5 min and they are perfect! No broken whites and the eggs were perfectly done! I just got mine for christmas!
I am so loving my Instant pot since I discovered you. Thanks for all the info you share! Thanks 🙏🏻
I do 3 minutes with immediate QR then into ice water bath. Look the same, not powdery.
Please advise your hack to prevent the shell from sticking to the egg. Thanks- Paul
Thanks Karen for doing this test. I have kind of done the 5-5-5, but with jumbo eggs and they turn out good, but have to say there are a few times after refrigerating a day or two they end up having dark around the yolk, any clues as to why. Plus this is the first I heard of the 2-10-5. Maybe I should try that, I am about 800 above sea level. Thanks a lot. Claudia
There has been a rash of "Hard Boiled Egg" thingies the last few days. I cannot recall which, it may have been ATK (Sorry – Americas Test K) which concluded that the best Hard Bolied Eggs were boiled. HARD boiled eggs are easy just boil them until you get bored then shell and eat. SOFT or TACKY (my favorite one to eat from the shell) is much more difficult, so many variables. Personally I put mine in an Egg Cooker and come back later so I am not to sure how long it takes.
I enjoy all that Karen does. I’m a fan. That’s why I alerted her. She will understand. No one wants to be embarrassed when they are on camera.
What about peeling the eggs – easy with both methods?
Absolutely love your channel (and my Instant Pot and discovering new recipes for it), but doing hard-boiled eggs in an Instant Pot is akin to searching for a Rube-Goldberg solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. Want perfect hard-boiled eggs every time? 1. Put the desired number of raw eggs in a saucepan sufficient to contain them and add enough water to barely cover eggs. 2. Place saucepan on stove and turn stove to high heat. 3. As soon as water begins to boil, turn heat to simmer and set timer for 12 minutes. 4. When timer sounds, drain water and flush/cover eggs with tepid/cool tap water. Done! Perfectly cooked eggs each and every time!
Karen, “these ones? I don’t think so. These eggs, those eggs, but never these ones. – please
Tks for info. Glad your husband is feeling better!!
You’re at 4500 feet and I’m at 450 feet. I do 555 and mine turn out perfect. So the altitude must have to change drastically to affect the results. 🤔
I have finally settled on 2-3-5. They come out perfect.
Are all your recipes developed for high altitude cooking? This is important to know. I've never seen this mentioned in your blog. I've pinned several recipes and the outcome could be affected.
Your intro sounds like a high school experiment! It’s great
I always used 5-5-5. I make egg salads so it really doesn't really matter if creamy or not I guess. Lol thanks for video. It eases my mind.
👍❤😁✌
I use the recipe in the cook book The Essential Instant Pot by Coco Morante. For hard boiled eggs she gives different timing for sizes of eggs. I use Jumbo , put them on an egg rack, 1 cup of water and 8 minutes on high pressure, then quick release. They are so easy to peel. The shells just slide off. I do put them in an ice bath immediately and let them sit for a few minutes. I make 18 at a time and they last a week
