Equipment
- Ninja Possible Cooker
- Rack / grill insert (included with the Possible Cooker)
- large Bowl
- Ice
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups water
- Ice and cold water for the ice bath
Instructions
- Pour 1 ½ cups of water into the Ninja Possible Cooker pot. Set the rack (grill insert) inside the basket and lower the basket into the pot.
- Place the eggs on the rack in a single layer. Do not stack them.
- Close the lid. Turn the dial to STEAM and set the timer to 10 minutes. Press Start/Stop to begin.
- While the eggs are cooking, fill a large bowl generously with cold water and ice. Set it nearby.
- When the timer beeps, carefully open the lid away from you to avoid the steam. Using tongs, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath.
- Let the eggs rest in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes.
- To peel, gently tap the egg all around on the counter, then start peeling from the wider end where the air pocket is. The shell should come right off.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Cold eggs are fine. You don't need to bring eggs to room temperature before cooking. I always cook mine straight from the fridge with great results at 10 minutes.
- Soft boiled version: Cut the steam time to 6–7 minutes for a jammy, slightly runny yolk. Still use the ice bath.
- Older eggs peel better. If you have the choice, eggs that are a few days old peel much more easily than super fresh ones. It's something about the pH of the white.
- Don't rush the ice bath. Five minutes minimum. Ten minutes is even better if you want the eggs to be cool enough to peel comfortably right away.
