Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs 🥚

Making hard-boiled eggs in the Instant Pot is a game-changer. No need to monitor the stove or worry about overcooking. These eggs come out perfect every time, with easy peeling!



Ingredients

  • Eggs (as many as you like, the Instant Pot can fit up to 12 eggs at once)
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Instant Pot

  1. Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  2. Place the trivet or a steam rack inside the Instant Pot.

2️⃣ Add the Eggs

  1. Carefully place the eggs on the trivet or steam rack. The eggs should not be submerged in the water, but they should be elevated above it.

3️⃣ Cook the Eggs

  1. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the vent to Sealing.
  2. Select the Manual (High Pressure) setting and set the timer for 5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 6 minutes for firm, hard-boiled eggs.
  3. When the cooking time is up, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, carefully release any remaining pressure using the quick release function.

4️⃣ Ice Bath

  1. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5-10 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes the eggs easier to peel.

5️⃣ Peel and Serve

  1. Gently crack the eggs and peel them under running water for easy peeling.
  2. Enjoy your perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs!

Tips:

  • If you prefer slightly softer yolks, reduce the cooking time to 4 minutes.
  • For a larger batch of eggs, just increase the number of eggs, but keep the cooking time the same.
  • To store eggs, place them in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Enjoy your perfectly cooked Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs! They’re great for snacks, salads, or meal prep. 😋
