I usually open one cooled egg and eat it immediately. They are so delicious when they are fresh made and warm like that is it hard to resist. I recommend you do the same! I use the rest to make low point deviled eggs, egg salad sandwiches and I also keep some in the fridge for easy snacking The BEST thing about instant pot hard boiled eggs, besides the certainty of the cook timing, is that I NEVER lose any of the egg in the peeling process. That's right, NEVER. The Instant Pot cooks the eggs perfectly and the shell comes off easily and fast. WOW. I will never make stove top hard boiled eggs again!
