  1. I agree one of the most impressive thing I’ve got my IP to do was easy peeled hard boiled eggs. I really enjoy using the Instant Pot to hard boil my farm fresh eggs. For years I boiled them on the stove, and they were soooo hard to peel! It was so frustrating! I tried all the tricks, like adding baking soda but nothing seemed to work. I pretty much gave up on the idea of easy to peel eggs. When I got the IP, I wasn’t expecting for them to be easier to peel, but I was looking forward to throwing them in the IP and not having to turn on the stove, or wait for water to boil. Yada…yada… I was so surprised with the first batch I made, and how easy it was to peel the eggs!

  2. I have seven yogurt jars leftover from a yogurt machine that died a glorious death. Would it be possible to make egg dishes in these jars? It would make grabbing lunch on the fly really easy.

    1. Lucy, I can’t make any guarantees but I’ve seen some great recipes that use this method with eggs. It certainly sounds like a tasty and healthy lunch so I hope you give it a go!
