Instant Pot Boiled Eggs

Do you need convincing that you should keep your Instant Pot that you bought for yourself/got as a gift and haven't used, because it's a whole new learning curve, or you're not convinced it's any better than what you're already doing, and/or you're afraid it's going to explode (on that note, the post that you've seen about the little girl? it has morphed over time in a fishy way; don't believe everything you read on the internet; except here, of course)?

Try boiled (actually steamed, but we're going with the colloquial) eggs. Yes, boiled eggs. Simplest thing ever. I recommend people doing boiled eggs instead of the water test, because it's basically a water test that you get something out of.

Now, I tried the 5/5/5 method that everyone pumps. (Google it yourself. It's not worth my trouble. The method, that is. Googling, I can handle.) I much prefer the 2-and-walk-away method found here.

What's so great about boiled eggs from the Instant Pot? They practically slip out of the shells. Sometimes, they actually do. You know, how you're supposed to use older eggs to boil, so they come out of the shell more easily? No need. Farm fresh (according to what I read . . . on the internet), even, fall right out of the shell.

And if you want to get egg-stra fancy (sorry, couldn't resist), buy these and shape the eggs while they're still warm. After they fall out of the shells (have I mentioned that they fall out of the shells?)
