Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Eggs

I'm so excited to find another great use for my electric pressure cooker! And just in time for Easter. Here's the link to making perfect hard boiled (or soft boiled) eggs in your pressure cooker!. I tried it today for lunch and the eggs came out perfect. And it's so much easier than boiling them on the stove!!

I put the eggs on the trivet and used canning lids to separate my eggs so that they wouldn't bump into each other (see the picture).

This way you can do several at a time - could probably have fit more if I put them in between the canning lids. I put 1 cup of water in cooker and pressured them on low for 6 minutes. I let the pressure go down naturally. And then immediately took the eggs out and soaked them in cold water to stop the cooking. Perfect! And a lot easier to crack than the ones you make on the stove. Enjoy!
