    This is our take on the now-famous recipe for making dyed Easter eggs in the Pressure Cooker from Better Homes and Gardens but we used our go-to 5-5-5 method for cooking instead.

    We tried this process a couple of times to see how the cooking time would differ from our go-to 5-5-5 method for cooking boiled eggs.  Since the eggs are in mason jars, they would likely cook differently, right?

    Eggs (10 of 86)

    To our surprise, there was no change in the egg texture or ease in pealing when we used our go-to 5-5-5 method.   Even with them in the mason jar, the eggs came out perfect!  

    We did find that if you opt to cook them longer, for 6, 7 or 8 minutes, the color of the egg dye is a bit more vibrant, but the eggs were a bit overcooked and rubbery for our liking.   

    Tips for making Dyed Easter Eggs in the Ninja Foodi:

    1.Do not overfill the mason jars.  If you add too much water to the jars or the jars are too small, the colored water will boil over the mason jars and into the pot.  Depending on how many mason jars you have in the Ninja Foodi and how close together they are, the color may bleed over from one jar to the next if they are too full. 

    2.DO NOT TOUCH THE MASON JARS when you open the lid.  They will be VERY hot.  This is why I recommended to leave the mason jars in the Ninja Foodi and carefully remove the eggs with tongs. 

    3.Use vinegar.  I hate the smell of vinegar and have usually tried to skip it.  But, when you use vinegar, the colors will be much more vibrant.
