How to Make No-Peel Hard Boiled Eggs in a Slow Cooker

Confession time. Our No-Peel Crock Pot Hard Boiled Eggs is seriously one of my favorite slow cooker hacks ever! I got the idea a while back when I saw folks trying a similar method in their Instant Pots. Now this method is the only way I make my eggs for my egg salad and potato salad. I even whip up a batch for our salads sometimes.

Since we are making eggs for a recipe or topping, we ultimately need cooked egg whites and cooked yolks intact. But no one ever said we have to use those pesky shells to get there.

The trick to making No-Peel Crock Pot Hard Boiled Eggs successfully is to use a 2.5 quart oven safe bowl inside your 6 quart slow cooker with 2 cups of water down in your crock. This setup creates a double boiler that allows you to “hard boil” your eggs without their shells, keeps the yolks intact and and keeps edges from overcooking while the middle gets done.

Once they are done cooking you just turn them out onto a cutting board and chop them up and you instantly have No-Peel Crock Pot Hard Boiled Eggs for all your recipe needs. Easy peasy!

How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in a Slow Cooker

Grab a 6 quart slow cooker and add 2 cups of water into the crock.
Butter a 2.5 quart oven safe bowl and place it inside the crock.
Carefully crack and add 8 eggs to the buttered bowl, keeping yolks from breaking.
Cover and cook on high for 90 minutes to 2 hours- until yolks set and look hard boiled.
Run a rubber spatula around the edge of the eggs to loosen them from the side of the bowl.
Carefully, remove the bowl from the crock and turn it out onto a cutting board. Use oven mitts as the bowl will be hot.
Chop the eggs to desired consistency and use in recipes or top on salads.
Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Notes on No-Peel Crock Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

We used a 6 quart slow cooker with a 2.5 quart oven safe bowl. If you use a different size bowl or crock, cooking times and consistency may vary.
We also used our favorite rubber spatula to make releasing the eggs easy.
We have tried this using cooking spray instead of butter and it will work, they will just stick more.
