Kitchen Notes and Tips
- Everyone has their own favorite way to hard-boil eggs. Here are two methods you can try:
Cold Water Start: Place eggs in a pot. Add cold water to 1” above eggs. Place them in boiling water. Remove from heat. Cover pan. Let it sit for 22-24 minutes. Remove eggs from water and rinse under cold running water or add to an ice water bath for 5 minutes.
Instant Pot Method: Place 1 cup of cold water in an instant pot. Add trivet. Place eggs on the trivet. Check the seal and that the vent is on. Cook on Manual, High Pressure 7 minutes. When time is up Quick Release pressure. Remove eggs and rinse under cold running water. Then place in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes.
