- For steaming, place your eggs in a steamer basket and place over a saucepan over cold water with the lid on. Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the eggs steam for 12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool completely and stop the cooking process.
- For an electric pressure cooker (Instant Pot), place the eggs on the rack insert. Pour 1 cup of cold water into the bottom. Place the lid on. Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes, followed by a 4 minute natural release, and then place into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Instructions
-
Place eggs in the bottom of a saucepan. Be sure not to crowd the eggs in the pan. They should fit comfortably. Fill the pan with cold water, 1 inch above the eggs.
-
Bring the water to a rapid boil on the stovetop over high heat. Once the water comes to a boil, cover the pan with a lid and remove the pan from the heat. Do not lift the lid. Set a timer 12 minutes.
-
Fill a large bowl with ice and water. When the eggs reach the desired cooking time, use tongs to remove the eggs from the hot water and immerse gently into the prepared ice water to cool, about 10 minutes.
-
Set out several bowls or plastic cups, one for each color you'd like to make. Place 5 drops of liquid food coloring into the bottom of each. Pour in 1 cup of water into each container. Add in 1 tablespoon of vinegar to each and stir. Add up to 10 more drops food coloring to achieve desired color. Repeat this process for each color.
-
Once eggs are cooled, dip eggs in dye for about 3-5 minutes, until desired color is achieved. Use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the container and allow to dry. Store in the refrigerator.
