Ingredients

  • 2 cups water, or as needed
  • 8 fresh eggs
  • 4 cups cold water
  • 4 cups ice cubes

Step 1
Fill a pressure cooker with the minimum amount of water specified by the manufacturer. Place eggs in the steamer basket above the water. Seal the lid and bring the pressure cooker up to low pressure.

Step 2
Cook, maintaining low pressure, for 6 minutes. Remove the pressure cooker from heat and allow the pressure to drop for 5 minutes.

Step 3
Combine cold water and ice in a large bowl.

Step 4
Use the quick-release method to open the pressure cooker. Transfer hot eggs to ice water using an oven mitt or spoon. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips

Letting the pressure cooker reach high pressure will cause eggs to crack.
