Here’s the deal, you need X for Thanksgiving and you don’t want to waste many. Start today, boil a couple at a time and you’ll get to where you need to be by Thursday.
I’m shooting for something higher that I had a few weeks ago, a very spicy deviled egg that tastes like a deviled egg and has a lot of burn at the end. I think we paid $5 a piece for them so figuring out the recipe will be aa big win.
I start with cold tap water and add eggs. After the water boil I cover and turn the burner off. After about 15 minutes I run under cold water while peeling.
I use my old Mirro Matic pressure cooker with steam insert. Set the pressure bobbler at 5lbs and start when it starts to jingle for 15 min. Release the pressure, remove the lid, let cold water run into the pot and fill with crushed ice This works every time for me and sounds similar to an insta-pot , which I don't have. I've tried higher pressure and the eggs will crack. I hard boil eggs at least once a week without fail of having the shells sticking to the whites. Good Luck ! Don't give up on hard or deviled eggs.
Just did a ton of the things, way more than I usually do and short notice.
While both cartons are EB and both expired today, they were sourced at different locations about a week apart.
For an instant pot or maybe other pressure cooker, use a steaming thingy, add eggs and 1 cup water. Set to high for 5 minutes, and allow a 5 minute natural release followed immediately by an ice bath for at least 5 minutes... I let em sit for 20.
In my case I used WAY more eggs than usual. It took almost 10 minutes before pressure built up so I cut the natural release to 2 minutes.
I had 3 blowouts, I assume due to crowding like I did. All but 2 eggs popped right out of the shell, and with those 2 none stuck to the shell.
Yolks are perfectly firm for deviled eggs with no grey.
I've found anything higher than 5 psi in my old pressure cooker will leave a few blowouts I tried 15psi one time and had almost 100 % blowout. Check your psi settings as that might help reducing blowouts.
I have been steaming eggs for about 15 years now and most folks can't believe how easy they are to peel but also how much better they taste.
Here is what I have been using, 12 minutes for two eggs and they come out perfect at least for my taste. Not hard boiled but what I consider about perfect.
