We're not always solving business problems for our clients. Sometimes we're solving LIFE problems! What's the best way to cook hard-boiled eggs? In an instant pot! You don't need a special steamer accessory. Cook eggs with the instant pot rack that came with your instant pot. 1 cup of water 5 minutes on pressure cook 5 minutes on a natural, slow-release 5 minutes in an ice-water bath Put the egg in a cup, shake it for a few seconds, throw it back in the water. Do this with all your eggs and then grab them all out of the water. Tap dry and serve them! Want an easy snack with hard-cooked eggs? Three eggs in a bowl, add a dash of salt, tbsp of olive oil, and a squirt of mustard for each egg. Mash with a fork and eat. #foodhack #instantpot #eggs #hardboiledeggs #thinker by Thinker Ventures
