Pressure Cookers That Nail Eggs Every Time
Spent two years making eggs in a regular pot like some kind of pioneer. The day I switched to pressure cooking, every single egg came out consistent and peeled in one motion.
Grab this if you batch cook eggs for the week. I do 12 at once on the 5-5-5 method and they slide right out of the shell. Paid for itself in saved time within a month.
