Pressure-cooker hard-boiled eggs are the easiest eggs to peel. The foolproof 5-5-5 method produces eggs with perfectly set yolks and shells that easily slip off every time.

Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup cold water

Directions

Place trivet insert and 1 cup water in a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Set eggs on trivet. Lock lid; close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 5 minutes. Let pressure release naturally for 5 minutes; quick-release any remaining pressure.
Rinse eggs in cold water and place in ice water until completely cooled. Drain and refrigerate. Remove shells; if desired, cut eggs before serving.
