Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Place each egg in the cup of a standard muffin tin to prevent them from rolling around. Bake the eggs for 30 minutes. After baking, transfer the eggs to a large bowl of ice water and let them cool for 10 minutes.
4. Pressure Cooker (Instant Pot) Method
Add one cup of water to your pressure cooker and place a trivet or egg rack inside. Put the eggs on the trivet and seal the lid. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure and cook for 5 minutes. Quick release the pressure, then move the eggs to an ice bath.
5. Sous Vide Hard Boiled Eggs
Set your sous vide cooker to 194°F (90°C). Place the eggs in a sous vide bag or directly in the water bath. Cook for 9-10 minutes. After cooking, immediately chill the eggs in an ice bath for a few minutes.
6. Microwaved Hard Boiled Eggs
Fill a microwave-safe bowl with enough water to cover the eggs, then add a pinch of salt to prevent them from exploding. Heat on high for 6-8 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. Once done, place the eggs in an ice water bath.
7. Boiling Eggs in Electric Kettle
Place the eggs in an electric kettle and cover them with water. Turn the kettle on and let the water come to a boil. Once it boils, turn off the kettle and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. Transfer them to an ice water bath to cool.
Each of these methods offers a unique way to produce perfectly hard boiled eggs, providing versatility to match your kitchen equipment and time constraints. Enjoy experimenting and discovering the best method for you!
