I came across Facebook group "Vietnamese Instant Pot Recipes" and there I
discovered the very best and easiest way to cook soft or hardboiled eggs. Very
simple method and eggs peel in one continuous strip.
I have
modified a large steamer rack so that I could lift it from the pot without
steamer opening and dumping eggs on floor.
All I had to do was to pass copper wire through two adjoining sections of a steamer in 4 places (relatively evenly apart) and bend the wire over.
Recipe is
simplicity itself:
Pour
half a cup of water into Instant Pot (IP), place basket with eggs inside
stainless steel pot, cover making sure that release valve is in close position
(tab facing front), plug the IP in, set on Manual, set timer to 3 minutes
and let it do its job.
When done
unplug the IP and after additional 3 minutes release steam . Open the lid,
remove basket and plunge bowl in cold water to rapidly cool the eggs. When
cool, peel as usual. You will be pleasantly surprised how easy the shell and
membrane come off, basically in one piece.
Perfectly
cooked eggs. Enjoy!
