Question Re: Hard Boiled Eggs

[LaurenThompson]

I am just wondering what the best practice for eggs is when you want to hard boil them in a pressure cooker. In terms of the egg itself, I would assume because it’s in the shell it’s imperative to clean the egg first?

Wash the eggs then put them in the fridge overnight before you hard boil them. That way they're easier to peel

I use the 5/5/5 method for hard boiling eggs in my instant pot. Pressure cook on high 5 minutes, natural pressure release for 5 minutes, ice bath for 5 minutes. If you do 4/4/4 they'll be softer. I sometimes rinse them first (if they're dirty) but I have also done eggs straight out of the coop without letting them age at all and generally have no problems with peeling.
