I was using an egg cooker from Walmart (7 eggs at a time). It worked great! Then I discovered hard cooked eggs in the air fryer!! 16 to 18 minutes at 260. Then I usually let them cool off in the air fryer until cool enough to touch. Then the cold water ice bath before I peel them
Tap egg on counter and put a very slight crack in the shell, put in pot, cover with water, bring to a boil, simmer for 12-15 minutes. Pour out water, add one or two trays of ice cubes & add water to cover. Peel eggs when cooled off. Works for me every time even with fresh eggs, water seeps into crack & makes it peel clean every time.
Air fry 6 large eggs @ 250 for 16 min. Allow to stand for 10 min. in air fryer. Remove and cool on your counter for another 10. Refrigerate. These peel easily most of the time.
I boil my eggs in the instapot with enough water to sink the eggs and pressure cook for 4 minutes. Remove and run cold water on them so you can peel them easily.
bring a pot of water to boil add eggs set timer for 13 minutes remove and run under cold water add ice to cool make sure water covers eggs by at least an inch do not cook on hard boil
I have now started to steam my eggs. In a shallow pan with a rack and lid. Keep the water below the rack and put a lid on it at all times or so and let it come to a boil, then put my eggs in and steam them for 8-10 minutes, that get them to soft to med boiled. They seem "fluffier" and creamer. Give it a try !!
I bring the water to a boil than place the eggs in, cook 15 minutes and than drain the hot water. Add cold water and ice until they have cooled than you will have a egg that the egg shell will just slide off with ease
Hard boiled eggs is a misnomer. Eggs do not boil. they coagulate . Hard cooked eggs which have been made in boiling water.
I have been using a pressure cooker for years. It works great and the shell comes off with no problem, every time. Bring the pressure up and time for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the pressure drop for 5 minutes and release any pressure that remains. Put the eggs in an ice bath to stop cooking and you are done. They are perfect.
How much pressure? 5-10-15 lbs????
