Nightshade Free Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs are one of those kitchen staples that seem simple until you're dealing with rubbery whites, greenish yolks, or shells that tear the egg apart on the way off. The Instant Pot takes all the guesswork out of the process, delivering consistently perfect results every single time. A quick pressure cook followed by a natural release and an ice bath is the secret to that tender white and a yolk that's fully set but still bright and creamy — no grey ring in sight. For anyone navigating a nightshade-free lifestyle, eggs are an absolute workhorse ingredient, completely free of tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, or any of the other usual suspects that sneak into so many convenient foods. These are endlessly versatile once cooked — slice them over salads, mash them into egg salad with your favorite safe condiments, or just eat them straight with a pinch of salt. The running-water peeling trick at the end is genuinely one of those small tips that makes a real difference, especially when you're making a full dozen at once. Batch cook these at the start of the week and you'll have a reliable, satisfying protein ready to go whenever you need it.
