Instructions

  • Make hardboil eggs. We love making ours in the Instant Pot (seriously life-changing if part of your regular diet includes needed hardboiled eggs in your fridge at all times)
  • Soak eggs in vinegar for 5 minutes. Yes, the first time I didn’t have white vinegar, so I soak them in red wine vinegar.
