Hard Boiled Eggs in your Instant Pot




I was going through the pictures on my camera when I found these I had taken last year when I cooked eggs in the pressure cooker. 


Last year I purchased an Instant Pot and was finding ways to use it. Telling my friends about what I had and wanted to do is when Pam told me about how she hard boils eggs in her cooker.
I had never heard of that before.
Now that was something I needed to try
Well time went by and I forgot what she said so I went to the Instant Pot website and there is where I found these instructions,


Pour 1 cup water into the pot and position a steamer basket or trivet atop the steam rack.
Place 3-5 eggs, using canning lids or metal cookie cutters to separate/hold the eggs.
Close lid and steam valve.  Press Steam setting, and adjust time down to 4 minutes.  (5 minutes for hard boiled).
At end of cycle, place a cool cloth on the lid and quick release the steam valve. 



Use tongs to transfer eggs to a cold water bath for 1-2 minutes.
Peel and enjoy!



Now I don't know if you notice but they are all white eggs. That's cause I have had to resort to buying eggs. 


The eight girls I have  now are not laying.

    I didn't know that you could boil eggs in a pressure cooker. Shame you are having to buy eggs with those beautiful hens.

    If I had a pressure cooker and if I ate boiled eggs I would give this a go! Glad that it works for you though!! xx

    It's amazing all the uses for pressure cookers these days. I don't have one, but I remember my Mom making stew in her's when we were little.

    This is the only way I hard cook my eggs these days makes peeling those super fresh eggs from my hens so easy. That is when my girls are laying. My hens like yours are taking the winter off and I had to buy eggs this week too. The shame of it!

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
