I love that I don’t have to peel any eggs! The only thing is, I’ve done this recipe 4 times and 6 minutes isn’t enough time. This last time I did 8 minutes and it wasn’t enough so next time I’ll try 12 minutes.
Why because I hate peeling eggs! Love it!
Why? Because I don’t like peeling eggs and then the smell in the house. Egg loaf is a great idea! I just made potato salad for the 4th. Potatoes on bottom, eggs next in the IP, presto done! No stars because did not make this but is similar to what I do.
Why is because I live in AZ that gets to over 100 degrees in the summer, so any way to NOT have to turn on the stove or oven is very welcomed.
Why? Just why?
Not Bad
Did this for my tuna salad, so much easier than doing individual hard-boiled eggs and peeling them
Knock off recipe they couldn’t bother to site the original author for
I’ll have to try this. If it really works, it’s pure genius.
