No-Peel Eggs: Just crack, drop & go!

July 26, 2018 By satisfyingeats 9 Comments

UPDATE: If doing 2 batches back to back, be sure to wipe IP lid and ring and place lid in refrigerator while cracking eggs into the molds again. Also go to 13 minutes and still do the 2 minutes manual release. This is for large eggs. So if you use 2 molds at a time and do 2 batches back to back you can get 28 perfect hard boiled eggs that you didn’t have to peel! Seriously, it’s life changing!

 

Don’t let your friends keep peeling eggs, share this post and save the eggs and save their sanity!!

No one likes to boil eggs because NO one likes to peel them! Yeah, yeah, there are “tricks” that SOMETIMES work but there are no guarantees. After months of making my “No-Peel Eggs” I decided it was finally time to share! 🙂 

When I first got my Instant Pot almost 2 years ago, I immediately made hard boiled eggs. I was rather disappointed because most of the eggs busted like a can of biscuits AND they didn’t peel easily. 🙁

My method is fool proof, really! AND they still look like eggs! You’re never going to go back to tediously peeling eggs again! 

What I REALLY love about my method is that you don’t even need an Instant Pot, you can just as easy and actually cook them QUICKER on top of your stove! WHAT?!? I love it when old school methods still rule! 🙂 But you will need one of these!

Perfect for No-Peel eggs and Egg Bites!

And these eggs are PERFECT for deviled eggs and THEY DON’T SLIDE!!! Just cut the eggs horizontally and prepare as normal. Don’t forget the yummy homemade mayo!

What is your favorite way to eat hard boiled eggs?? Please tell me in the comments! I think a good 7-Layer Salad recipe should be coming up soon!

Ok, so here is everything you will need. There are 2 sets of directions below. You do NOT have to use an Instant Pot, you can cook them on top of the stove!


 

We have surely enjoyed having our own chickens and eggs. The colors are just beautiful and the eggs so tasty!

For this recipe, you can use any size eggs. Because we have our own chickens, the egg sizes varied from 1.8 oz-2.10 ounces but they averaged 2.0 ounces. Most store bought eggs average 2.0 ounces so the cooking times will work even if you don’t have your own hens. If you have smaller eggs, lessen the cooking time, if you have jumbo, add 1-2 minutes! 

A Few Tips

  • UPDATE: Let the eggs cool at room temp for 5-10 minutes or 4 minutes in the freezer before removing from mold, it will make them even easier to come out.
  • Eggs will last 4-6 days in the fridge, just depending.
  • If you want to do another batch right after the first, you will need to let the Instant Pot cool off if you want to use the same time.
  • Make sure the seal of the Instant Pot is dry and clean.
  • The Stove Top method is a little quicker but the egg whites will be a little bumpy, not as pretty as if prepared in the instant pot.

Just for a cute kid picture… here is my Anna cooking in her kitchen, she is my chef in training!

    I’m wondering if a silicone muffin pan would also do this? I can’t buy anymore kitchen things because I am past the point of running out of space. lol Cleaning out and tossing for weeks now. Sure looks yummy

      Hi Rose, I don’t see why not. You may just have flat eggs. Keep me posted because I would love to share the tip if it works.

    If I want a softer yolk/soft boiled egg, do I just need to reduce cooking time? Do you think 7 minutes would be good?

      Monique, good question. How soft do you want them? If you want them slightly runny I would say five or six minutes. You may have to experiment a little bit but you could technically make poached eggs this way without all the hassle.

    I’m ordering two egg bite molds from Amazon tomorrow, but mostly for all the recipes I keep seeing that look so good. I’ve had great success cooking eggs to hard boil stage in my IP, and shelling them is super easy when I use a method I learned about 30 years ago–when the eggs are as cool as one desires, hold (it) in one hand, and with an ordinary spoon used for eating, tap the shell firmly enough all over the egg to break it. Don’t smash it, just break it–then turn the spoon upside down and slide the bowl of the spoon under the shell, just as if you were going to scoop the egg out. The spoon gets under the white membrane, and the shell just comes off in so easily, usually in one or two larger pieces, with a few smaller ones initially. Works every single time, and I’ve taught this method to many people over the last three decades. It’s not my method, but one learned from a woman who knew a lot about little tricks to save one’s sanity 🙂

    I used the stovetop method but it was a mess from start to finish. My silicone egg molds (same as yours) would not hold an entire “large” egg (they honestly were more like mediums), so I let some of the white run off onto a plate. Once cooked, the eggs would not release from the mold, even with a butter knife around the edges, so much of the cooked egg was stuck to the inside of egg molds. Lots was wasted. I used a mesh basket which has feet and a handle so as to easily set them down inside the pot, and the mesh holes were full of cooked egg white which I’m still trying to get out, and may have to just toss the basket. Needless to say, the appearance of the eggs was not pretty and could only be used for a recipe calling for chopped eggs. All that said, they tasted fine. Any tips?

      Hi Laura, sounds like you’re silicon molds were the small version, I’ve made that accident before and got the mini mold because they were cheaper. Big mistake! 🤦🏻‍♀️ The ones I linked in my post are the right size. I have chickens and sometimes the eggs are really large and it holds the entire egg. If you do not all the egg molds, you will need to let them cool for a while. But the best way would be to just either spray inside a silicone mold with a oil spray or use a little oil on a paper towel and rub the insides. And I do not dish wash mine. Just hand wash with soap and water to let dry.

      Don’t give up, try these tricks next time and it should work out perfectly.
