Eggs are one of the most naturally gut-friendly proteins out there, and this pressure cooker method makes a dozen of them practically effortless. Just water and eggs — no sneaky additives, no onion powder hiding in a seasoning packet, nothing to second-guess. The high-pressure steam does all the heavy lifting, producing whites that are fully set without that rubbery, overcooked texture you sometimes get on the stovetop. The ice bath step is key: it stops the cooking instantly and makes peeling dramatically easier, especially when you start at the wider end where the air pocket gives you a natural head start. Keep them unpeeled in the fridge and you've got a ready-to-grab protein source for the whole week — perfect for snacking, slicing over salads, or meal-prepping a batch of egg salad with compliant ingredients. Simple, reliable, and genuinely satisfying.
