Pickled eggs & beets in no time!!!

Oh, you can definitely do more than a dozen at a time! I’ve done over 30 in my 6-at.

 

[stephen583]

@donnlisa I’m realizing this! and I’m excited!

 

[staceihs]

@donnlisa do you have to have the egg holder or can you put them directly in the pot? If you do more eggs, do you have to increase time?

 

[dixiedancer]

@staceihs I have an egg holder but if I’m doing a lot of eggs I just put them in the pot, and no, no need to increase time.

 

[staceihs]

@dixiedancer thank you so much!

 

[donnlisa]

@staceihs , I never use an egg holder. Just stack them carefully on the trivet that came with your pot. I also find that if I let the eggs sit out of the fridge for a few minutes so they aren’t ice cold that I have fewer cracks.

 

[staceihs]

@donnlisa great info! Thank you so much! I’m going to have to try this!

I love making them in the IP although 5-5-5 makes them too dry for my taste. Tend to do 3-3- Forever I just take them out of the ice when I get a chance

 

[stephen583]

@peterfisher385 gonna try that!! Thank you!

 

[maidnamerica]

@peterfisher385 I do 3-3-3 as well. 5 overcooks them

 

[peterfisher385]

@maidnamerica I think so! I did it the first time but wasn’t happy

@peterfisher385 I did them this weekend and did 5-5-5 but LOW pressure and loved how they came out. Yolks were a little bit moist rather than dry but Definately hard boiled- could have made devilled eggs with them

 

[peterfisher385]

@rylez98 That’s interesting! I will try it next time - worst case scenario I’ll make egg mayo for sandwiches

 

[dixiedancer]

Less than a dozen? I have done 3 or 4 dozen at Easter

And so easy to peel!

Will this work in the larger ip? I moved up last year to the one with the broil top, not realizing just how much bigger it is. Still not sure how to get the perfect eggs!

@aphemix I have the 8-qt and use my wire steamer basket to hold the eggs in 1 1/2 cups of water. I use 6-6-6 on high for well-done eggs and it works great for me.

@rhodin thank you!
