Instant Pot Pressure Cooker-Dye Easter Eggs While They Cook In One Step -With Surprise!

I just had to try this pressure cooker one step technique for dyeing hard boiled eggs while they cook. They turned out a nice intense color and the only limitation is how many eggs you can fit into the mason jars for cooking. Ha-it's too fun:@) I tried to cool them as quickly as possible and they did peel nicely. Stay tuned for a new post about how I'm using them coming up... Don't hesitate to add this to the to-do list folks, especially if you don't need a ton of eggs and want to try something new.

An unexpected surprise... 
Sporadic little colored dots on the egg whites!
They would make cool deviled eggs:@)

 Easter will be here before we know it...

Notes:

• Better Homes and Gardens used an 8 quart Instant Pot and pint jars. They fit two-three eggs into each jar.
• I used my 6 quart pressure cooker and four jelly jars (8 oz), one egg in each jar. 
• Food coloring drops work best.
• I cut the vinegar back to 1 tsp per jar but did still use the 12 drops of food coloring.
• For more pastel eggs, use less food coloring.
• I did rinse my eggs under cold water once done cooking so they would still peel nicely. The rinsing did lighten the color of the eggs a bit, but what you see is the final result.
• I'll list what I did below, you can stop by BH&G for their detailed instructions.

Cook and Dye Easter Eggs in an Instant Pot Pressure Cooker-adapted from Better Homes and Gardens

1. Add 12 drops food coloring and 1 tsp white vinegar to half pint mason jars.
2. Add a little water to each jar and carefully place a raw egg into each jar.
3. Fill with water until top of egg is covered.
4. Pour 1 C water into pressure cooker vessel.
5. Add rack and place mason jars on rack. I tried to keep mine from touching.
6. Place lid on PC, set to seal, set timer for 6 minutes.
7. Allow pressure to come down naturally for 6 minutes. Release any remaining pressure.
8. Using a canning jar lifter or tongs, carefully remove jars. Pour dyed liquid out and replace with cold running water. 
9. Chill eggs as quickly as possible for easier peeling. I didn't want to soak them in ice water and lose more color so I placed them in the freezer for about 20-25 minutes and then stored them in the fridge.

Make something just for fun and have a happy day:@)
