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

[alien0]

What might be going on with my eggs? I used to do the 5-5-5 method with perfect success, but lately I peel one and find it isn’t done. I put back in the pot and do 2-5-5. Usually still not done, and I repeat. No steam is escaping from the pot during pressure time. Still has plenty of water in the pot after cooking. What might be the problem?

@alien0 try adding 1/2 cup more water. (1 1/2 total)

Isn't it curios how many methods there are? I do as many eggs as I want for 4 minutes with a quick release and right into cold tap water for a few. Dry them and into the fridge. Perfect.

I have done 2 dozen eggs in my mesh steamer basket in my 8 qt. Perfect every time.

Thank you everyone for your input on my FAILED brisket. I will definitely implement Dr Tesla suggested including replacing the gasket.

I quit using ice. Just cold sink water works fine. Just refresh it a couple times because eggs will warm the water.

It's interesting how everyone has a different time formula. I just kept experimenting until I got the hard boiled texture and no gray/green around the yolk. For me it's 4-3-4.

I've done almost 3 dozen at a time, right around Eastertime And it's an 6-quart Instant Pot!
