So I have my own backyard chickens and if you have ever tried to make hardboiled eggs out of fresh eggs, they are super hard to peel. Store bought eggs are not as fresh and therefore peel better.
So what’s the solution? An instapot! Beyond simple and yes, they peel super easy!

Simply put a the basket that comes with the instapot in first. I didn’t know where mine was, so this steamer tool works great.

Put the instapot on manual mode for 5 minutes. Then set it and walk away! That’s it.

Here's a link if you don't have an instapot, you need one!
Also here is the strainer that I like that works for my instapot and for the pots on my stove.
Now, back to the cooking process. When the eggs are done, you can put in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make your eggs cool quick so you can use them right away. This is my new favorite way to make hardboiled eggs. Trust me, I’ve been there and I do know this!
