Why Cook Eggs in a Pressure Cooker?
Before we get into the how-to, let’s talk about why you might want to cook eggs in a pressure cooker. First of all, it’s fast. A pressure cooker uses steam pressure to cook food quickly, so you can have perfectly cooked eggs in just a few minutes. This is especially great if you’re in a hurry in the morning or need to make a large batch of eggs for a crowd.
Secondly, it’s consistent. With a pressure cooker, you can achieve the same results every time. Whether you like your eggs soft-boiled, hard-boiled, or somewhere in between, you can set the timer and know exactly how long to cook them for.
Finally, it’s easy on your stovetop. Since the pressure cooker does all the work, you don’t have to worry about watching the eggs on the stove and making sure they don’t boil over. This can save you from a messy cleanup and give you more time to focus on other things.
How to Cook Eggs in a Mirro Pressure Cooker
Now that you know why cooking eggs in a pressure cooker is a good idea, let’s get into the how-to. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
You’ll need a Mirro Pressure Cooker, eggs, a steamer basket (if you’re cooking the eggs in the basket), and water. You can also use a trivet or a rack to keep the eggs off the bottom of the pot if you prefer.
Step 2: Prepare the Pressure Cooker
Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pressure cooker. If you’re using a steamer basket, place it in the pot. If you’re using a trivet or rack, place it in the pot as well.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
Carefully place the eggs in the steamer basket, on the trivet, or directly in the pot if you’re not using a basket. Make sure the eggs are not overcrowded and have enough space to cook evenly.
Step 4: Close the Pressure Cooker
Seal the pressure cooker lid and make sure it’s locked in place. Set the pressure release valve to the "Sealing" position.
Step 5: Cook the Eggs
Depending on how you like your eggs, set the pressure cooker to high pressure and cook the eggs for the following times:
- Soft-boiled eggs: 3 minutes
- Medium-boiled eggs: 4 minutes
- Hard-boiled eggs: 6 minutes
Once the cooking time is up, turn off the pressure cooker and let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. Then, carefully turn the pressure release valve to the "Vent" position to release any remaining pressure.
Step 6: Remove the Eggs
Once the pressure has been released, open the pressure cooker lid. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the eggs from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water. This will stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
Step 7: Peel the Eggs
Let the eggs sit in the ice water for a few minutes, then gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shells. Roll the eggs between your hands to loosen the shells, then peel them under running water.
Tips and Tricks
- Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs are easier to peel than older eggs. If you’re using eggs that are a few days old, you can add a tablespoon of vinegar to the water in the pressure cooker to help the shells peel more easily.
- Don’t overcrowd the eggs: Make sure the eggs have enough space to cook evenly. If they’re overcrowded, they may not cook properly.
- Let the pressure release naturally: Allowing the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes will help the eggs cook evenly and prevent them from cracking.
- Use a timer: Set a timer for the cooking time to make sure you don’t overcook the eggs.
- Experiment with different cooking times: If you like your eggs more or less cooked than the recommended times, you can adjust the cooking time to suit your preferences.
Common Questions

Yes, you can cook other types of eggs in a pressure cooker, such as quail eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs. Just adjust the cooking time based on the size of the eggs.
Can I cook eggs in a pressure cooker without a steamer basket?
Yes, you can cook eggs in a pressure cooker without a steamer basket. Simply place the eggs directly in the pot with the water. However, using a steamer basket can make it easier to remove the eggs from the pot.
Can I cook eggs in a pressure cooker on the stovetop or in an electric pressure cooker?
Yes, you can cook eggs in both stovetop and electric pressure cookers. Just follow the same steps and adjust the cooking time based on the type of pressure cooker you’re using.
How long can I store cooked eggs in the refrigerator?
Cooked eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week. Make sure to store them in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
