[–] 5 points 7 months ago (9 children)

I 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.

    60 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.

    I have chickens, and steam eggs in a steamer pot on the stove, but these kind of eggs when they didn't peel right is from an old chicken. Something to do with membrane is not great on them

    How old are your girls?

    Mine are just turning two and it's my first flock...I'd gotten some soft-shell eggs lately (which are surprisingly durable), but that's about it.

    I do mine on the stove.

    No special prep, just in a pot with a steaming trivet or basket with water up to the basket, eggs in for exactly 10 minutes with a lid on, then immediately transfer over to ice cold water.
