Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
Making hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot saves time and they turn out perfectly every time.
Note: Made in a 6-qt Instant Pot
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 dozen fresh eggs less or more is fine
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Put the trivet in the Instant Pot liner. Pour in the water.
- Set the eggs on the trivet in a single layer. Overlapping or stacking can lead to cracked eggs.
- Lock the lid and set the vent to sealing. Press the pressure cook button and set the time to 9 minutes. When the time is up, manually release the pressure right away.
- Set the eggs in a bowl of cold water to cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to the refrigerator if not using right away, or peel and eat.
Notes
- You can cook as many or as few eggs as you like. I've even cooked only 1 egg.
- For a soft, slightly runny yolk, cook for only 3 minutes.
- Stack the eggs might cause them to crack, but it usually doesn't negatively affect the outcome.
- You can put the eggs in an ice bath to cool them quicker, but I find that leads to a very difficult to peel egg. Let it cool naturally or in cold water.
