MacKenzie Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Pressured cooked this egg for 2 mins. at high pressure followed by a quick release. Plated. Cut to show yolk. I like this much better than boiling a pot of water for the egg. It is sooo much faster. It cooks in the same length of time as the bacon. Tomorrow I may try covering the top of the dish with foil. Stay tuned.;) 1
tony b Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Can't wait to hear the results of the foil test. Might replace the SV method for doing poached eggs - much faster.

Aussie Ora Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 That's a great looking poached eggOutback Kamado Bar and Grill
MacKenzie Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Posted October 31, 2016 Here you go, a 2 min. high pressure level cooked egg with quick release and top covered with foil. Here it is still in the custard dish- Plated. Breakfast is served. How long to pressure cook might vary with the cooker used a little. Tomorrow I'm going to do a covered 2.5 min egg. Once you get it worked out it will be repeatable. I don't think it will ever be creamy like a sous vide egg but these PC eggs are delicious and fast. 1
Shuley Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 Looks very good....especially with those mushrooms it is next to.Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
MacKenzie Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Posted October 31, 2016 Thanks, Shuley, yes, gotta love those mushrooms.:)
tony b Posted October 31, 2016 Report Posted October 31, 2016 Perfect runny yolk! Will have to fire up the pressure cooker to try this out.
MacKenzie Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Posted October 31, 2016 One of these days I'm going to put the egg in the PC still in the shell.;)
tony b Posted November 1, 2016 Report Posted November 1, 2016 It should easily take the pressure without cracking, since the pressure is higher outside than inside the egg. I wouldn't use the fast release method though.
MacKenzie Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Posted November 1, 2016 Maybe I'll try it tomorrow. I think the important part is to use low pressure, level and believe it or not a fast release, followed by a short very cold water dunk. otherwise that egg is going to keep right on cooking. I'll let you know when I do it.;) Unless you do it first.:)
MacKenzie Posted November 3, 2016 Author Report Posted November 3, 2016 That's funny, ck, when I cracked it open I did think at the time, I bet this is how ck would like his egg. 1
MacKenzie Posted November 8, 2016 Author Report Posted November 8, 2016 Adding to the pressure cooker egg theme- been doing semi soft/hard boiled eggs in the pressure cooker. 1C water cooker at level 1 for 5 mins. Release steam and run cold water over the egg to stop the cooking and making it possible to handle the egg. The shell almost always has a small crack but no escaping egg. This is what I get, it really is a beautiful egg. 3

I love pressure cookers I have three electric, one stove top, and also a microwave pressure cooker. Guess I got carried away with pressure cookers lol 1
MacKenzie Posted November 9, 2016 Author Report Posted November 9, 2016 Thanks guys. I sure are finding tasty uses for my PCs. Bruce you as well have a big PC collection. :) Mine are all stove top.
