Hard boiled eggs in Instant Pot – a perfect method which is easy and works everytime.
We all love boiled eggs except mittu as she is fussy when it comes to eggs,on the other hand gugu is fond of eggs that he can have any dish for egg sake, he loves it so much.I always buy country eggs but attimes when I don’t get it, I end up buying normal white eggs too.
I love boiled eggs with salt and lots of freshly milled pepper.I even like half boil with idli which is one my favorite combo since my childhood.Have you tasted it?! Half boil tastes great with idli,chapathi and dosa.Do try and let me know how you like them.
Before I owned instant I had to note the time to get perfect hard boiled eggs and it was a hassle as I mess up often.With IP in action and a trick you can get perfect hard boiled eggs every single time.
I have followed the popular 5-5-5 method with a slight variation, read on to know the trick I use.The 5-5-5 method uses lots of ice cubes which I usually don’t have in stock always so tried different methods and finally found this trick to work.
Boiling eggs without Instant Pot:
Boil water in a sauce pan – let it roll boil.Add the eggs and let it cook for 14 mins in low medium flame.Remove with a tong, add it to ice cold water and let it rest for few mins. Then tap on the kitchen counter to crack open here and there, put it in water then start peeling. The water enters into the eggs thus making the shells easily peelable.
