“Eggscellent!” Even easier than “in the shell” hard cooked Instant Pot eggs as there is no ice bath required. I used 4 eggs and halved both the cook time and naturel release time. Then chopped the eggs in the same bowl they were cooked in and mixed in the remaining ingredients. Added to a tossed salad (instead of dressing). This is a keeper.

In reply to Sigrid. Hi Sigrid - yes, if you use more eggs, you'll need to increase the cook time.

Barbara, this recipe makes enough egg salad for 4 sandwiches. I’m wondering if, using this egg cooking technique, I could cook more than 8 eggs at a time in creating my egg loaf. There’s certainly enough room for more eggs in the 7×3-inch cake pan I used inside my Instant Pot but perhaps they wouldn’t cook properly in the amount of time specified.

Hi Barbara…..I have a 3 qt Instant Pot…..also have the correct size Fat Daddy pan to fit……how many eggs would you suggest breaking to make this egg salad for the 3 qt Instant Pot…..I am assuming the timing of 8 minutes on High pressure would be the same…..have your cookbooks and love your website as well…..thanks!

I previously wrote that this looked like an interesting technique for cooking the eggs for egg salad – and now I’ve tried it. It was indeed a clever way to cook the eggs and not have to peel the cooked eggs (even though making hard cooked eggs in the Instant Pot does make them easy to peel). I made Barbara’s egg salad recipe and added cashews. How many? It’d not necessary to measure, just add a large handful. If you’d rather use your own egg salad recipe that will be fine too.

What an interesting technique for cooking the eggs. I’m eager to try it. The recipe for egg salad looks delicious as well. I’d like to suggest an addition to the egg salad recipe – put a few cashews in your egg salad. They don’t have to be whole or half cashews – cashew pieces are just fine. I learned about this addition from a restaurant in town that adds cashews to their egg salad.
