When you think of boiled eggs, you might picture eggs submerged in boiling water, followed by a tedious peeling process. However, this method is about to change your egg-cooking game entirely. Here’s how it works:

- Prepare Your Tools: Gather the necessary equipment – a glass Pyrex bowl (or any oven-safe bowl), a wire rack, and your favorite non-stick cooking spray, such as Pam.
- Crack the Eggs: Crack the desired number of eggs directly into the bowl. No need to worry about shells; they will stay contained in the bowl.
- Add Water: Place the bowl on the wire rack and pour about 1 cup of water into the pot, not inside the bowl itself. This provides a gentle, steamy environment for cooking the eggs.
- Cook to Perfection: Set your Instant Pot or pressure cooker to manual mode and cook for 5 minutes with a natural release. This ensures that the eggs are perfectly cooked without overdoing them.
- Chop It Up: Once the eggs are done, you’ll be left with a bowl-shaped egg loaf. Don’t be alarmed; it’s perfectly normal. Chop it up into the desired size for your potato salad.
