Love eggs. Hard boiled or soft. The key is how long to cook them. Here’s an easy Instant Pot recipe for eggs in the Instant Pot, ready in under 5 minutes. Best part? Easy peeling. The shell just comes off. Seriously. The “I HATE peeling situation” is gone. Hard boiled or soft, these eggs are perfect for those on virtually any diet: Keto, Paleo, Whole30, and Weight Watchers, too.
As I said, I love eggs but hate peeling them. The game changer for me was when I discovered how easy they are to make when made in the Instant Pot. It’s a snap. They come out perfect every time. Another thing I love? Eggs are zero Weight Watchers points.
I also love the various dishes one can create. I was making egg salad the other day for friends and instead of mayo, I used avocado and realized the two go hand-in-hand… so, this is what I had instead of the traditional egg salad I always make.
I served them on SlatePlates… they’re fun and they’re made in Italy. They look like slate, but aren’t and easy clean up. They’re Disposable or Reusable and I use them when I have guests over, at parties, and because I am not a fan of paper plates… even those “fancy” ones.
Here’s the Instant PotHolder shown above. It’s a 3-in-1 accessory: a trivet, a pot holder, and a jar opener. My mother, Bernice used to use something similar and when I couldn’t find the ones she used to love, I created them. I like them because they are thin but durable and use them everyday to remove the insert from the Instant Pot because I don’t like those thick, clunky silicone mitts. They’re also are great to use when removing items from the microwave, too.
