Dyed Easter Eggs In The Instant Pot Recipes

INSTANT POT EASTER EGGS

Steps:

• Prep the Instant Pot: Pour 2 cups of water in the instant pot liner. Place the trivet inside.
• Prepare Eggs: Place 3 eggs in each mason jar. You'll need 4 jars that will fit together in your Instant Pot. Pour about ½ cup of water in each jar, or enough to reach the top of the eggs. Add 2 tbsp of vinegar to each mason jar and combine different food coloring in each one. Next, place the mason jars into the Instant Pot. Secure the lid onto the pot and make sure to turn the vent at the top of it to the "Sealing" Position.
• Cook: Press the "Manual" button on the Instant Pot then the "-" sign to lower the time to 5 minutes.
• Pressure Release: Once the Instant Pot cycle is complete, wait 5 minutes for natural release then use quick release, change the valve to "Venting" position and place a towel over the valve so steam doesn't get everywhere. Carefully unlock and remove the lid from the pot.
• Shock: Use tongs to carefully remove the eggs from the jars, place the eggs in a bowl with ice water and let them sit for 5 minutes. Doing this stops the eggs from cooking further. After 5 minutes they are ready for you to serve!

DYED EASTER EGGS IN THE INSTANT POT - JUST 8 MINUTES

Steps:

• Add 1-2 cups of water to the bottom of the instant pot.
• In each of the 3 mason jars, add 10-15 drops of food coloring and 2 tablespoons of vinegar - stir together.
• Carefully place 1-2 eggs in each jar and barley cover the eggs with water.
• Secure the lid of the Instant pot and set it for 7 minutes. While it is cooking, you can prepare the cold water/Ice bath for the cooked eggs.
• After the instant pot is finished, I used the quick release for the steam valve. But, if you would like the eggs to stay in the dye as long as possible to enhance the color, letting the steam valve release naturally works too. However, they just might be a little more hard boiled that way.
• Using a reliable pair of tongs (also on my wishlist), move the mason jars from the instant pot to the sink, and run cold water into the jars to displace the hot water with cold water and cool the eggs.
• Once the jars and eggs are cool, you can gently remove the colored eggs using the tongs, and place them on a drying rack. When they are dry, they can go directly into the refrigerator.
