Korean Sauna Eggs Recipe In The Instant Pot Pressure Cooker (2024)

FAQs

What is the egg setting on the Instant Pot? ›

Plug in the Instant Pot, lock the lid, and position the steam release valve to "sealed." Press the "Egg" button on the Instant Pot. It will pressure cook the pot for five minutes on normal. This will result in hard-boiled eggs. If you want soft-boiled eggs, use the "-" button to reduce the cook time to four minutes.

I've found that 12 eggs fit perfectly on the metal rack at the bottom of your Instant Pot, but if you decide to cook more than 12 eggs at a time, I highly suggest getting this steamer basket. I have this exact one and it works great! The steamer basket also makes transferring the eggs to the ice bath super easy too!

Make sure your eggs are not submerged in water as this could affect the final result of the eggs. If using warm water, you may want to shorten the time from 5 minutes to 4 minutes, as warm water will take a shorter time to come to pressure.

If your eggs seem to be cracking more often, or are cracking before the whites are set, try cooking them at low pressure instead of high pressure. My own tests at low pressure gave inconsistent results. But every pressure cooker is a little different, and you might have better luck with yours.

Sunny-Side Up Egg – Cook at low to medium heat in a pan with oil for 1 minute. Eggs Over Easy – Cook at low to medium heat in a pan with oil for 45 seconds on one side and then flip and cook for a further 20 to 25 seconds. Over Medium Egg – Cook at low to medium heat in a pan with oil for 90 seconds on each side.

Can you eat 2 week old hard-boiled eggs? The FDA recommends consuming hard-boiled eggs within a week, and two weeks is well past that deadline. Since spoiled hard-boiled eggs can make you sick, it's best to be safe and toss out any leftover hard-boiled eggs that have been in the fridge for more than one week.

For one to four eggs, bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and turn the heat down to its lowest setting for 12-14 minutes. For five to eight eggs, cook for 15 to 18 minutes. For nine to one dozen eggs, cook for 20 minutes.

Count on about two eggs per person, so this scrambled egg recipe (which calls for six eggs) serves about three people. Warm butter in a skillet set to medium-low heat. Once it's juuuuust beginning to bubble, pour the eggs in. Stir!

Pressure cook eggs on high for 5 minutes, wait 5 minutes before releasing pressure after the cooking time, and then plunge the eggs into an ice water bath for 5 minutes. For extra large or jumbo eggs, increase the cooking time to 7 or 8 minutes, respectively.

To make soft boiled eggs (whites are set, yolks are runny), there is just a simple adjustment to the method. Rather than 5-5-5, do 3-3-3, where you cook for three minutes, natural release for three minutes, then ice bath for three minutes.

Can you stack eggs in an Instapot? ›

You would normally never do this. If you're cooking a soup or anything with lots of liquid, your Instant Pot will never come to pressure if you fill past the PC Max line. But due to the shape of eggs, there's lots of air between each one. You can safely stack as many as you can fit and still close the lid.

It is not safe to keep hard-boiled eggs at room temperature for long, and refrigeration is necessary if they will not be consumed within a few hours. If taking to a picnic or packing in a lunch, be sure to keep the eggs in a cool place.

Use one teaspoon of vinegar for each egg, and pour it directly into the water before you turn the heat on. Adding vinegar to the water helps the proteins in the egg white coagulate faster to plug any cracks that develop in the shell. This is a common problem, especially with eggs that are very cold.

Egg white solidifies more quickly in hot, salty water than it does in fresh. So a little salt in your water can minimize the mess if your egg springs a leak while cooking. The egg white solidifies when it hits the salt water, sealing up the crack so that the egg doesn't shoot out a streamer of white.

Set 12 eggs or as many as you desire (in a single layer) into a large saucepan. Fill pot with water to completely cover the eggs at least 1 inch above eggs and turn heat to high. Bring water to a boil, takes approximately 15 minutes. As soon as eggs start to boil, let boil for 10-12 minutes (I do 11 minutes).

In a 4- to 5-quart pot place steamer basket over simmering water (basket should not touch the water). Add 12 eggs to the basket in a single layer (f you have to layer the eggs to fit, add a minute to your cook time).
