Woo hoo another #TipOfDay. It’s been awhile. This is about Instant Pot and racks and even boiled eggs easy to peel. After years of being happy to get 8 or so perfect boiled eggs in the 5-5-5 method, finally branched out to, get THIS, 15, by using racks inside the IP to double stack. #InstantPot #Eggs #Racks #Cooking

Photos current racks and the unused ones nearby in the basin used for cooling eggs in water and ice afterwards.
