Purple Pansies and Sewingpup: I currently have 5 chickens . I cook fresh eggs in an Instant Pot and they do peel easily. Even after a few days in the refrigerator, they still peel easily. Now every once in a while I get an egg that won't peel without ripping the white but I figure it must just be a "fluke" as it doesn't happen often. LOL Fresh eggs from a home flock have much harder shells than those we get in the store, and I think that has something to do with how they peel.
My method: 1 cup water in bottom of pot, use basket or rack and place any number of eggs up to 2 dozen in the pot, cook on high for 5 minutes, then 5 minutes "cool down", release steam, immediately put eggs in bowl of ice water for about 5 to 10 min. and they are ready to go. My eggs vary in size from medium to ex large and they are all cooked perfect.
