We love chopped eggs on our dinner salads and we use them often in egg salad or tuna salad. This quick way to make no-peel eggs in an electric pressure cooker is a spin on how we make chopped eggs in our crock pot: Crock Pot No-Peel Eggs.
The trick to this method in both the crock pot and electric pressure cooker is an oven safe bowl (or tall sided pan) that allows you to crack the eggs BEFORE cooking!
Note: If you are looking for a way to make Hard Boiled Eggs with the shells, check out our Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs.

I made the shell-less hard boiled eggs in my Ninja Foodie, pressured for 5 min and then natural release for 5 min. The outside eggs were hard boiled but the inside was raw.Pressured for 4 more minutes and the center egg was still a very soft cooked egg. What am I doing wrong? I have cooked these twice before and it worked perfectly. Any ideas about what went wrong? By the way, thank you for your good recipes, I am looking forward to trying several.
I am so glad to see you do this recipe. I tried hard boiled eggs in shell in my foodi for pc 5, nr 5 and in ice water for 5. When I went to peel them the whites were runny and the yokes were not done. FYI, I get my eggs fresh from the farm so I don’t know if that makes any difference. I am going to try your recipe because I want to make egg salad for sandwiches.
I also want to tell you that I made your Mississippi Chicken & Noodles a few weeks ago. Wow, that was great. Had some neighbors over for that meal and it was a hit for all. Thanks for that too.
You guys are a hoot. Love watching you.
Hi Linda!
I am so glad you find this recipe helpful and that you enjoyed the Mississippi Chicken and Noodles!!
As for your hard boiled eggs, I am wondering if your eggs might be a bit bigger than those in the store? You might try increasing your time to 7 minutes for each step and see if that works…
So glad you enjoy the site and channel! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and let us know.
In the instructions for pressure cooker no peel eggs, it looks like you grease 2 bowls. Is that correct with one inside. I don’t understand fully just how this is done. Instructions 3 and 4 are confusing to me. Can you clarify. Thank you and thank you for doing a low carb newsletter
So sorry about that Pat! There was an error in the recipe card. We have it fixed now. Hopw that helps!
