Tips:
- For hard-boiled eggs, add the eggs to the pressure cooker basket and pour in 1 cup of water. Secure the lid and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
- For medium-boiled eggs, follow the same steps as for hard-boiled eggs, but reduce the cooking time to 3 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before transferring the eggs to an ice bath.
- For soft-boiled eggs, cook the eggs for only 2 minutes on high pressure. Let the pressure release naturally for 2 minutes before transferring the eggs to an ice bath.
- If you want to peel the eggs more easily, add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to the water in the pressure cooker before cooking.
- To make deviled eggs, follow the steps for hard-boiled eggs. Once the eggs are cooked and cooled, peel them and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and mash them with a fork. Add your desired fillings, such as mayonnaise, mustard, relish, and paprika. Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg whites and sprinkle with additional paprika or garnish with fresh herbs.
Conclusion:
Using a pressure cooker to boil eggs is a quick, easy, and efficient way to get perfectly cooked eggs every time. With just a few simple steps, you can have hard-boiled, medium-boiled, or soft-boiled eggs in minutes. Pressure-cooked eggs are also great for making deviled eggs and other egg-based dishes. So next time you're in a hurry, reach for your pressure cooker and whip up a batch of perfectly cooked eggs!
