Cooking hard boiled eggs in an instant pot is easy and quick!

Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 6 eggs large

Instructions

  • Place a rack in the bottom of your instant pot. Place eggs in a single layer on rack. Put as many or few eggs as you would like just make sure they're not touching and are not stacked on top of each other.

  • Add cold water to the bottom of the instant pot. Water should come up to the bottom of the rack but does not need to touch the eggs.

  • Put lid on Instant Pot and seal. Turn the release valve to closed.
  • Set timer on Instant Pot to 4 minutes.
  • When Instant Pot is done, allow it to naturally release for 4 minutes.
  • Remove eggs from the Instant Pot with a slotted spoon. Put eggs into a bowl full of ice water immediately. This will help stop the eggs from continuing to cook and will make them easier to peel.

Notes

  • Do not leave hard boiled eggs out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
  • Hard boiled eggs can be refrigerated for up to 7 days.
  • For soft boiled eggs, cook for 3 minutes and allow a 4 minute natural release.
  • Your Instant Pot might yield slightly different results based on size and model, remember to write down any recipe time adjustments you'd make so you remember next year!
