Wow. Just tried these for the first time and they peeled easier than anything I’ve ever seen before.
Test 1:
Put 1 cup water in pressure cooker.
Put steamer tray in pot.
I put the eggs (still in their cardboard tray) into the pot.
Close up the lid.
settings:
Steam setting
manual: 6 minutes
natural pressure release: 5 minutes
Cool in cold water when done.
3 of my 9 eggs cracked a bit, but I couldn’t see the cracks in 2 of them after the cold water soak.
Test 2:
Same except for using “low pressure” rather than “steam” settings.
2 eggs broke. I think the “steam” setting was better; when I did natural pressure release with this one I heard a loud pop, which I’m sure was the eggs cracking from the pressure change. Next time, I think I’d give it a longer NPR and use “steam.”
