Hard Boiled Eggs

I have two methods for making hard boiled eggs. I've been using the Instant Pot method for a long time but recently ran across the steamed method from Serious Eats. I haven't tried that method as of this writing but it seems more convenient.

Perfect Steamed Boiled Eggs (Serious Eats)

The description claims this is the best way to ensure easy-peeling.

1. Add 1 inch of water to a large pot. Place steamer insert inside, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add eggs to steamer basket, cover, and continue cooking, 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 12 minutes for hard-boiled.

2. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water. When time is up put eggs in ice water for at least 15 minutes before peeling.

Instant Pot Boiled Eggs

This is called the 5-5-5 method.

1. Put eggs on the trivet in the Instant Pot (I use my 6-qt pot and a trivet that holds up to 7 eggs).

2. Pour in 1 cup water.

3. Lock lid and set for "Manual High Pressure 5 minutes".

4. After the 5 minutes let them undergo a natural pressure release for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath.

5. After 5 minutes of natural pressure release move the pressure valve to "Venting" to release remaining pressure. When de-pressurized, pop lid and put eggs in ice water for five minutes.
