Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups Water (for the pressure cooker) Use 2 cups for an 8+ qt. size
• 8 Eggs

Tools

• 6" or 7" Metal Pan or Oven Safe Dish* (See Note)
• Metal Trivet/Rack with Handles
• Electric Pressure Cooker

Instructions

1. Add the water to the inner liner pot.
2. Spray the oven safe dish with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Crack the eggs into the oven safe dish.
4. Set the dish on the trivet/rack, grasp the handles, and carefully lower it into the pressure cooker's inner liner pot.
5. Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
6. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, and then the +/- button or dial to select 5 minutes if using a 7" pan* (6 minutes if using 6" pan). Use High Pressure. If they don't fully cook in the time given, just put the lid back on and let them finish cooking in the residual heat.
7. When the cooking cycle has finished, let the pot sit undisturbed for 2 minutes. Then turn the knob to the Venting position to quick release the remaining steam/pressure.
8. When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid.
9. Use oven mitts (I like the silicone ones) to grasp the handles and carefully lift the pan out of the pressure cooker.
10. Invert the pan onto a cutting board to remove the egg loaf, and let the egg loaf cool.
11. Chop the egg loaf up to desired size and use in egg salad, potato salad, or other recipes!
