Perfect Eggs Every Time with the 5-5-5 Instant Pot Method!

[stephen583]

Eggs in the IP, y’all. I whipped up the 5-5-5 method again and it’s perfect

every

time

! ‘Tis Eggscellent!
1 cup of water
dozen or less eggs
5 mins high pressure
Relax for 5 mins, release and remove
Soak in the ice tub for 5 mins
It also tickled my creative spot and I made a T-shirt for my shop.

@phlyarologist I just put mine on the trivet that came with my IP.

 

[stephen583]

@phlyarologist Yep! Eggs were my first cook. It’s easy and quick.
I have seen some folks going rack-less using a lower number of eggs, but I’ve never tried it. You can also use the wire rack that came with the IP. My next favorite thing to IP is frozen chicken. So quick!

@phlyarologistno need for a rack or trivet. Just pile them in there. I did 42 eggs in my 8 quart last month.

Love the shirt

 

[stephen583]

@stephamore07 thank you!

I love the IP for eggs. I've done 36 at once in mine, when I needed to make a bunch of deviled eggs.

 

[stephen583]

@etant 36 eggs! that’s a ton and amazing!

 

[etant]

@stephen583 my deviled eggs are always requested for get togethers, so I have to make a lot sometimes

 

[stephen583]

@etant any special recipe? I love deviled eggs.

 

[etant]

@stephen583 I season to taste. I use
1/2 mayo and 1/2 Miracle Whip
Mustard
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Celery salt
Pepper
Pickle juice from bread & butter pickles
Top with chipotle paprika for a little kick

 

[stephen583]

@etant oh nice! I’ve not seen B&B pickle juice. I’ll save this one. Thank you!

 

[deafry42]

Ive done 20 just stacked in the trivet with the same method and they were all perfect too! So much better than boiling

 

[stephen583]

@deafry42 so much better!

I did eggs in my bigger instant pot and 5-5-5 worked fine but in my 3 quart they are overdone if I do the same so I have to lower the time to 3 for softer yolk and 4 for harder yolk but even 4 is pushing it.

 

[stephen583]

@sleeplesshollow Oh interesting! Science! I’ve got the 6quart but I bet having a 3qt would be useful too.

 

[sleeplesshollow]

@stephen583 I started out with a 6 quart as well but I found a deal on a 3 quart and it's really handy. It takes up less space and I can do 90% of the things I need to do in it. Definitely worth looking into.

 

[stephen583]

@sleeplesshollow I definitely will. Mine is SO huge. Thank you!

 

[deepinhart]

@stephen583, I have both...use the 3 qt. nearly every day...great for eggs, elbows noodles, mashed potatoes ...but still need 6qt for ribs and the like...

 

[stephen583]

@deepinhart oh great idea! A little side dish pot.
