Ninja Pressure Cooking Hard Boiled Eggs

~ lindy

Pressure Cooking Eggs:

12 Large Eggs, hard-boiled, I like to cook them in my Electric pressure cooker/Insta Pot, with 1 cup of water place in the bottom of the pot 1 layer of eggs you can fit 11 to 12 eggs, if you layer them on top of each other some may crack. Also, use good quality eggs with thicker shells, I’ve had trouble with Wal-mart’s egg shells cracking and the shells are thin. To Cook: Press pressure button and cook eggs 3 to 4 minutes, this will take about 15 to 20 minutes with the pressurizing and depressurizing or cook according to your electric pressure cooker instructions. After pressure cooker/Insta Pot depressurizing cooked eggs. Remove from cooker and place cooked eggs into a bowl of ice water to cool down and then peel.
