I have cooks essential brand. Same type of concept as Insta pot. It doesn't have a basket or rack. Can I just placebeggs in water and cook?

Being that the pressure is released the cooking is all done with steam minus pressure. If that’s the case couldn’t the eggs be placed in a typical vegetable steamer basket set over a pan of water?

Learning to use my IP and decided to try this out. OMG, what have I been missing! So fast, easy and peels like a dream. The perfect texture with no rubbery feel or that dreaded gray, green circle around the yolks. 3 minutes to the perfect hard boiled eggs. -

My new favorite way to hard boil eggs! It's so much easier than the traditional stove-top method!

If you have an electric pressure cooker without a basket or rack to put the eggs on, simply crinkle a piece of foil and place it in the pressure cooker to place the eggs on, then add the cup of water.
