Boiled Eggs For Beginners
Welcome to my Instant Pot hard boiled eggs for beginners. Not only will we be covering today how to cook Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs but also, we will be answering all your burning beginner questions. But first, before we crack on with our instant pot hard boiled eggs, lets go back to the beginning. We all know how difficult it is to get our boiled eggs just perfect, but thanks to the Instant Pot electric pressure cooker it is now possible to have them completely perfect! I am one of those people that just love hard boiled eggs, but they always seem like such an effort to do them. You boil the water in a small saucepan, then you add the eggs, then you cook them for a few minutes and then you just hope that they are perfectly hard boiled. But the worst bit of all is that when it comes to getting them out, they break as you try to peel them, and you often give them up as a bad job. Of course, Dominic taught me how get the eggs out perfectly, but for the rest of us that don’t have a chef around you could end up losing half the egg in the shell. Then came the Instant Pot and that is what perfect hard boiled eggs are all about. You can simply sit them on the egg trivet and let the Instant Pot do the work for you. And until you have actually done hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot you won’t realise just how amazing it really is. So, if you are not quite convinced and are an Instant Pot beginner then I recommend you give Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs a go and see for yourself!
