What You Need For Hard Boiled Eggs

• 1 Cup Water
• Eggs
• An Insta Pot Or Pressure Cooker

Cooking the Eggs

To make the perfect hard boiled eggs we use the Ninja Foodie. You can probably do this with any of the Insta Pots out there we just happen to have the Foodie. We will need the cooking pot, the broil rack and the pressure lid for this.

Water

First we’ll put the broiling rack inside the cooking pot and put them in the Ninja Foodie. Then we’ll add 1 cup of water.

Eggs

Now we place our eggs on the rack. We try to make sure they’re not too crowded but we’re not sure how important that is.

The Pressure Cooking Lid

The Ninja Foodie has 2 lids. One is attached and the Pressure Lid is separate. The lid has a steam vent that can be set to Seal and Vent. We want to set it on Seal and then we’ll put the lid on the pot and lock it into place.

The Pressure Button

The Ninja Foodie has a lot of function choices and we want the Pressure function for this job. When we press this button the display reads ‘HI’.

Set the Time

Then we will set the time to 5 minutes. When you press the time buttons the minutes will display. Our Foodie starts at 10 minutes so we reduce that to 5.

Press Start

Then we just press the start button. The display on the Foodie will say ‘Pre’ as it builds up the proper pressure.

Count Down From 5

Once it builds up the pressure the display will start counting down from 5 minutes.

Vent the Steam

After 5 minutes the Foodie will beep and it is time for us to vent the steam. We use tongs to move the vent setting to ‘vent’. You don’t want to do this with your hand as you will be releasing very hot steam.

Counting Up

We need to let the steam vent for 5 minutes. When the Foodie reached zero it automatically started counting back up so we can just wait until it gets to 5 minutes again.

Remove the Lid

Now we carefully remove the lid. You’ll have a lot of condensed water on the lid and it will be hot so be careful.

Ice Water Bath

We use tongs to remove the eggs from the pot and place them in an ice water bath. We do this to stop the eggs from cooking further and also to get them cool enough to peel.

Peel the Eggs

Now we peel the eggs. One of the nice things about cooking hard boiled eggs this way is that we can get the peels off so easily. The eggs have a round end and a pointier end. There is an air pocket inside the rounder end so the can crack the shell easier and peel the egg easier starting at that end. You won’t have to fuss with stubborn egg shells with this method.

Perfectly Cooked Eggs

The Hard Boiled Eggs are perfectly cooked every time. The yolks are cooked perfectly with no gray coloring around the edges.
