Isn’t it awesome! Really the best way to cook hard boiled eggs.

We tried a poached egg in the mini this morning and got the same results as the 6qt. I know they use different wattage, but they should come to the same pressure level / psi. I wonder if you have accidentally changed your pressure level to low?

Hi Dianne – haven’t tried doing eggs in the 3 qt, but I’d be happy to test out a poached egg (tomorrow) and let you know my results.

I rarely use low pressure unless I’m cooking something that’s tender and easily overcooked like vegetables.

Thanks Barbara, but should I be on HIGH, MED or LOW High Pressure, and does that make any difference in how cooked the eggs end up being?

(I made the batch that I mentioned on HIGH High Pressure.)

Hi Susan – It doesn’t make too much difference. They’re still cooking while the pressure is releasing so 3 min 3 min release sounds like a good plan if you like the egg yolks a little orange.

Or does it make sense to adjust only the cook time and not the release time?  

I’m not sure how both of those things affect the eggs.  
I’ve only used an IP, so not a longtime HP user.

Hi Stacy – Steam on low pressure for 7 minutes sounds like a great option. Were the eggs to you liking?
