Xanthan Gum Free Pressure Cooker Hard-Boiled Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs sound simple enough, but getting them consistently cooked — no green ring, no rubbery whites, easy to peel — is something a lot of home cooks struggle with on the stovetop. The pressure cooker method solves all of that in one go, delivering perfectly set yolks and tender whites every single time. With just eggs and water, this recipe is about as clean and straightforward as food gets, which makes it a natural fit for anyone avoiding additives or thickeners that sneak into processed or pre-packaged foods. The ice bath step is the real secret weapon here, stopping the cooking instantly and making the shells practically slide off. Starting the peel at the wider end — where the air pocket sits — is a small tip that makes a genuinely noticeable difference. Make a batch at the start of the week and you've got a protein-packed, grab-and-go option ready to go for days.
