    I just discovered this video. All I can say is WOW!!!!! This method works as described. I tested 2 days in a row. It produced properly cooked eggs and I was able to peel them in about 20 seconds per egg with no issues. Thank you.

    works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

    I started with 5-5-5 method 3 years ago, and little by little I reduced the cooking time to 2 minutes with a 10 minute release (or sometimes a bit longer when I’m not paying attention to time). They always turn out much better than when I first started. I have been using the 2-2-2 method for 2 years now and everyone raves about my deviled eggs. Wish you made this video sooner! LOL! But I hope those who see this try your method - IT ALWAYS WORKS! Thank you for sharing!

      Yea, I haven’t done eggs in the #InstantPot in a few years and decided to look it up again for a refresh. Watched a 5-5-5 video, had followed instructions and already started with five when I came across this video, canceled before pressure indicator was up and dropped the time to two. Almost thought there is no way those eggs are gonna be cooked. Let the sit on L until 14 minutes and the eggs were great…think 💭 I’ll drop it to 11 or 12 next time.
      Surprised yet in love ❤with this method.

  • @eatingwithselina8482
    @eatingwithselina8482 2 роки тому +14

    I did the 2 minutes today but let it NPR for the 5 minutes (which is built in as a reminder on newer instant pots) I then let it rest in an ice bath for 4 minutes which resulted in my perfect preferred egg (boiled medium well) for avocado toast or for my baked beans on toast meal. So I guess I will always do 2-5-4 ❤️
    The best thing about IP is to keep experimenting. I was doing the 4-3-3 but now I like this better! Team 2-5-4 lol

    Hi, your method worked perfectly. I just cooked 3 eggs in my 3 quart Instant Pot Duo 2-15-2 ice 🧊 water. Just a reminder if your instant pot has the Keep Warm button feature & activated like mine does, this will automatically start your 15 min low pressure release. Results were perfect. Thanks ! 😊

  • @missjewells5063

    Just tried this after using the 5-5-5 method a few times. Yes, the whites are a LOT more tender. No more rubbery whites to contend with . The other benefit is not having to deal with the steam release. Thank you!

  • @Chill_Lil
    @Chill_Lil 2 роки тому +6

    Easier way is to use the steam button. Just place eggs in basket and set into insta pot. add enough water to come to the bottom of the basket. Bring water to a boil using saute. Throw the lid on and steam for 15 min. cool them down and your ready to go. Seems faster and I don't have to wait to bring it pressure. Yes, my backyard chickens fresh eggs turn out great.

    Thank you so much!! I’ve tried 5.5.5, etc etc…always thought they were tough but I’m trying to use my Instant Pots ( 3qt and 6 qt)… yes, I had it perfectly down for cooking them on the stove too (put the eggs in a cold water pan, bring to a boil, turn off immediately then put lid on pan for ten mins) but enjoy using my Instant Pot so much more for so many things why not use it for this also…🥰🥰

  • @deedsh6280
    @deedsh6280 2 роки тому +5

    Somebody mentioned below in comments about NPR even a lot less at 3-4, before ice. I'm thinking if that works, I'd be good with changing out my 5-5-5-. Otherwise, I'm still leaning toward the 5-5-5 as the entire thing is done in 15, start to finish. I guess I hadn't noticed any issues with toughness as many had noticed, but I only use hard boiled in other salads etc vs eating them on their own where you might notice that more. But always willing to try another method out. Thanks for showing this.

  • @OWK000
    @OWK000 3 місяці тому +2

    I watched those 5-5-5 videos for hard boil eggs when I first got my Instant Pot, but I didn't like how it made my eggs turn out. So, I pressure cook for "0" minutes. Yes, you can set it to just come to pressure and then shut off with "0" minutes. Then for medium size eggs, I leave to release for 15 minutes. For large eggs I go a couple minutes more. I use more water is the difference. I fill the bottom of the Instant Pot with water right up to the steamer rack. It's more than a cup. I have a 6 quart Instant Pot. Water amounts are crucial for this turning out the same every time you do it. So figure out your way and stay consistent.

  • @Norbielp
    @Norbielp 2 роки тому +3

    Thanks for updating this topic. Your recipe is the standard for our house. My new Instant Pot is an 8 quart,but with 1 & 1/2 cups of water the pressure pop up drops around the 6 minute mark. I still let the time run to 14 before cold soak, is that anything to worry about? Thanks for you videos, you're really one of the best covering the instant pot!

I can't remember ever having tasted tender whites before. Thank you. (I made these again a couple of times. Tonight, I shortened the resting time to 10 minutes and the yolks were super tender and soft! They were the bet yet!)

    I didn't like the 5-5-5 nor the 6-6-6 eggs, so I experimented myself. I was trying to do the 0 minute bring to pressure & then natural release but my Cosori doesn't give me the "0" option. I then did a 1 minute with a 10 minute Natural Release & found the perfect egg for me!!!

  • @evage99
    @evage99 2 роки тому +5

    Huh, that 15 minutes seems like a LONG time! I tend to pressure cook mine for 2min, release pressure, and chill immediately. The yolk can be a little goopy, which I looooove, especially with a few drops of hot sauce.
    And now I need to go cook another batch so I have some for lunch, I'm hungry 😅

  • @Joeen-n7h
    @Joeen-n7h 6 місяців тому +2

    A tip to make farm fresh eggs peel easily no matter what method you cook them with: GENTLY TAP the BIG end of the egg with the back of a teaspoon, hear the LITTLE “ CLICK”. ? This breaks the membrane inside the egg but not the shell so the shell and membrane peel away very easily after the ice bath.

  • @Andrea-bh7nt
    @Andrea-bh7nt 2 роки тому +8

    I've never used my Instant Pot for hard boiled eggs before. I knew I could, and always meant to try, but just hadn't. I honestly figured I'd probably wind up overcooking them even more than normal. Yes, I'm one of those people who always seems to over cook their hard boiled eggs. When I saw your other Instant Pot hard boiled egg video (I saw the other one on FB, and didn't see this one until looking for the other one) it gave me the courage to try. I admit, I was nervous heading into this, for two reasons. One, I ALWAYS over cook hard boiled eggs. And two, I have an 8QT Instant Pot, and the manual says a minimum of two cups of liquid, but your video said to only use one cup. But I forged ahead with only one cup of water, and 22 eggs.
    I set my timer for two minutes and said a prayer over my eggs. Minutes later, I was SURE I'd just screwed my eggs up. LOL I'm still a newbie with the Instant Pot, so when the keep warm came on, and I didn't see the "L" on my screen, I thought I'd done something wrong. So what do you do when you think you did something wrong with technology? That's right, I just turned it off. LOL I set a timer for 15 minutes and prayed even harder. Now, also thanks to you, I know that I actually hadn't done anything wrong, except maybe turning the pot off. LOL
    Once my timer went off I dumped my basket of eggs into an ice bath. I had full intentions of leaving them for the full 10-15 minutes you said, but my anxiety over having completely ruined my eggs got the better of me after only five minutes. I took an egg out of the ice bath, grabbed my knife, and said one final prayer over my eggs. I cut my egg, and held my breath as I opened it. We've all had that "aha moment" when we cook something and for the first time it comes out perfect, and this was MY moment. The inside of my egg was THE PERFECT shade of yellow that'd I'd only ever seen when watching videos on how to make the perfect hard boiled eggs. NEVER had I seen a perfectly hard boiled egg in MY kitchen. Until now. I stared at that perfect pastel egg yolk as if it were my dream man come to life in front of me. I couldn't believe it. I had just made a perfect hard boiled egg. I'm 51 years old, and I FINALLY made a perfect hard boiled egg.
    I managed to leave the rest of my eggs alone for a few more minutes before taking them out of the ice bath. I must have cut ten open before believing that they'd all come out perfect. As I made my egg salad I continued to marvel at the beautiful creamy yellow color hard boiled eggs create when not over cooked. My egg salad is really simple. I like to have larger chunks of the whites of the egg, as well as extra, so I always make a few extra eggs, so that I can discard the yolks. That's why 22 eggs. Half a dozen whole eggs, and four minus the yolks. Then it's Hellmann's, and season with just salt and pepper. That's it. And when I was done making it this time I was amazed at the difference that perfectly hard boiled eggs could make. I'd just made the best tasting egg salad in all of my 51 years. I already know I'll be making another batch when this one is gone.
    Each time I taste my egg salad I am once again surprised at how good it tastes in comparison with the egg salad I'd been making before finding your video. I will NEVER make hard boiled eggs any other way than your Tried, Tested, and True way. Thanks you SO MUCH for finally teaching me how to make that perfect hard boiled egg! Now if I could only master fried chicken. LOL

I made boiled eggs for the first time in my 6 qt IP a week ago, and I've got the very first generation instant pot when they first came on the scene:) That means I've had an IP since 2014 and just recently boiled eggs in it. I did the 5-5-5 method. They did seem very "done". Today I'll make some with this 2-15 method and I know they will be perfect.

    I never tried hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot before, and I tried your ideas, 2 minutes high pressure, 15 minutes natural release, then ice bath. My eggs were way overcooked. Someone else said 2 minutes high pressure, 9 minutes natural release, about 4 minutes ice bath. That didn't seem to overcook. So thinking abut this I've speculated that the area one happens to be in when making hard boiled eggs must make a big difference. Altitude I know makes a difference. Latitude? Outdoors or indoors temperature? I think it would be a good idea to try one egg at an 8 or 9 natural release time.

  • @joshstephens408

    I just did this with a dozen eggs and the cheapy rack that comes with the pot with 1 1/4 cups water (5 Liter IP) and it was perfect. I let it sit for 15 min and it released on it's own so I was a little worried. The eggs also pealed perfectly which was another one of my concerns. I'll be doing this from now on for sure.

    I was never happy with the 5.5.5 method. I hard boil eggs regularly and your 2.15 made sense. I did high pressure for 2 min and NPR for only 10. The eggs were perfect. Why would I want to do this in an IP? Because I don’t have to keep an eye on it as it cooks! But sometimes I have only a couple eggs to boil so it makes more sense to just do stovetop. Thank you for the detailed testing! You’re do a great job!

    I watched your egg video with the “easy peel hack”, which teaches this same method. Today (end of Jan 2023), I tried it with 5 eggs in the steamer basket (which I bought because of a recommendation from you), and followed this method exactly, in a 6 qt pot. Then I put them in the ice water bath and peeled them like you showed. They turned out really well, except one egg exploded out of its shell (which can happen with any method). Easy peeling, and perfectly cooked.
    I had watched a video of the 5-5-5 method and almost used it but then I decided to see if you had a how-to. Because I know you test things out, and you explain things without extra chit-chat. I’m so glad I did!

Been studying Instant Pots for a few years longer and not sure I would use it as my family doesn't like a lot of soups stuff, HOWEVER I do hard boiled eggs all the time. I even got one of the little egg poacher and 7 cooker (love it) but pealing the eggs turned out like garbage. So on a whim I got the 6 qt Instant Pot and the stacking egg trivet. I followed your 2 min cook 16 min depressurize and ice bath and OMG for the first time in MY LIFE all the eggs look restaurant quality pelled perfectly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO THANK YOU LOVE IT, on to cooking something else new.

    Hi, I just got an Instant Pot and tried to follow your instructions for the hard boiled eggs. What do you do when your Instant Pot is still pressurized after 15 minutes and you can’t get the eggs out? I had a very difficult time trying to depressurize mine as it doesn’t have a pressure release valve.

      Just a tip to make farm fresh eggs peel easily: gently tap the big end of the egg with the back of a teaspoon, you will hear a little click, this breaks the membrane inside but not the shell. You may see small hairline cracks, but the egg won’t leak out. Wa la easy peeling after ice bath.

    Oh my goodness! I will never boil eggs again after trying this method! The eggs were so easy to peel they practically peeled thmeselves...and they were perfectly cooked. I made deviled eggs and none of my eggs came out looking massacred after I peeled them. Thanks for the video and this amazing method!

    Lisa, this method worked BEAUTIFULLY from start to finish. I can't ask for better! Thank you SO much for all the hard work you put into this. I absolutely LOVE the egg peeling technique!!! It was beautifully demonstrated in the video including the crackling sound of the shell as you roll it gently on the counter after 3 quick taps on the top and the bottom of the egg. It was such a joy to see the peel glide off those eggs and my egg salad turned out deliciously. A HUGE thank you!!!

    My husband loves hard boiled eggs when he is on the go on the farm or getting parts or grocery shopping. Now he has them and doesn't have to buy them. I just made 14 with those little stack racks.
    I taste tested the one that cracked. Tender and delicious even without salt.
    Hubby also wears dentures and even with being implant/snap in he still can get sore spots. So, the insta pot beef short ribs at 45 minutes should be tender enough, too for tonight.

    5-5-5 always yielded overcooked, green yolks. I do a 3 minute cook, instant release, and get those eggs into ice water bath the second I can open the lid. I like more of a medium cooked egg with the yolk mostly cooked, but slightly mushy/soft in the middle, but not necessarily liquid.

    Which method would you recommend for deviled eggs?

  • @redoxjames2506
    @redoxjames2506 Рік тому +2

    If you think about it, you're in the "Green Zone"--the window of perfect egg opportunity-- for a longer period of time cooking at Low Pressure. At high pressure you zoom through that Green Zone much faster. Also your Instant Pot comes to pressure faster since you're using Low Pressure instead of High Pressure.
    Try this and see what you think:
    Pour the water into the inner pot of your 3 qt Instant Pot.
    Place the rack that came with your pressure cooker in the bottom of the pot and arrange your eggs on top of it.
    Close and lock the lid. Make sure the steam release handle is pointed toward the Sealing position.
    Select the Pressure Cook or Manual button and adjust the settings to cook on **LOW PRESSURE** for 5 minutes
    When the cooking time is up, **wait 2 minutes** then manually release the pressure using a Quick Release.
    Once the float valve has dropped down, carefully open the lid turning it away from you as you lift it up.
    Remove the eggs and place in a bowl of ice cold water for at least 5 minutes.
    Peel and enjoy right away or store in your fridge for up to one week.

    Always good to check at your altitude also - for me in Colorado (5800 ft.) best is 2 minutes full pressure and only 5 minute natural cool down - removed immediately and placed in ice water for 10 minutes. Love your info on instant pot!

    • @vhulheim

    Very nice job on the testing and demonstrations. I am trying your method right now. I do like the more natural softer appearance your method had. We can see it in the video. I am the guy that believes "texture" is a flavor too. That is another target of mine when I cook. Appearance and texture are just as important as flavor. Thank you so much for this video. Very nicely done.Update:
    You're method is still the very best. Great job on the testing, the content and so thank you so much for sharing.

    Actually, I just did the water test today, and hard boiled eggs were the 1st thing I tried my pot with! Except I didn't know about A triple 5 or triple 6 method because I learned from someone else doing hard bald eggs in her video.
    Moreover, I prefer medium boiled or (even better yet!) soft boiled eggs, so I figured I would work my way down to soft boiled eggs by taking away a minute (at a time) and doing 4 minutes instead of the 5 minutes the other lady in the video had done, Decreasing by another minute until I have figured out how to do soft boiled eggs there. I guess I could try the same thing with your method, except just gradually decrease the natural _depressionizing time_ until I have the eggs the way I like them. And I can just go the full 2:15 anytime I actually _need_ them to be hard boiled, like if I'm doing deviled eggs or something! 😊

    I have a question regarding the natural release time.
    I just bought my 6 qt IP last November.
    My sister told me the Warm time was the same as the cook temperature.
    Is that true?
    I also thought that natural release time was to simply turn off the IP and let it come down on its own?
    Is that accurate?
