5-5-5 Method for Eggs

When cooking hard boiled eggs, some remember the 5-5-5 method. Five minutes of electric pressure cooker, five minutes of rest before opening the lid, five minutes of an ice water bath. (However, we did 20 minutes and they turned out perfectly. Consider me a perfectionist or maybe just truthfully a forgetful mother.) Both time worked perfect staying true with the 5-5-20 or 5-5-5 method.
