Best Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs Recipes

INSTANT POT® HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Insert a wire rack in the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour in water. Carefully place raw eggs onto the rack, fitting them in tightly. Close and lock the lid.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• As soon as the timer goes off, hit cancel and release the pressure using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid, as leaving eggs in longer will result in overcooked eggs.
• Transfer eggs to a large bowl using a serving spoon and cover with cold water. Let cool for 5 minutes. Peel while still warm and rinse off any shell pieces. Use immediately or store in the fridge.

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup of water into the cooking pot of the Instant Pot. Place the rack in the pot with the handles pointing up. Place the eggs on the rack, preferably not touching one another. Properly place the lid in the locked position. Set the Instant Pot to low pressure for 9 minutes. Quick-release all of the pressure when cooking time is completed and the pot beeps.

HOW TO MAKE HARD-BOILED EGGS IN THE INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Fill your Instant Pot with 1 cup of water and place the steamer rack inside.
• Add eggs to the rack, pointing up or down (it doesn't seem to matter).
• Replace the Instant Pot lid and set the release toggle to SEALING.
• Press the "Manual" button or, if you have a newer model, the "Pressure Cook" button. This will cook the eggs at high pressure. Set the time for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a medium-size bowl with cold water and a few ice cubes.
• When your Instant Pot has counted down to 0, do a quick release by moving the toggle from "SEALING" to "VENTING." Watch out for steam burns! Let the steam escape completely. Remove the lid from the Instant Pot.
• Using tongs, carefully transfer each egg to the water bath and let them sit there for a few minutes until cool. This will help keep the eggs from overcooking.
• Eggs keep refrigerated for about 5 days. I store them peel-on so they don't stink up the fridge; they're super easy to peel either way. To aid in the peeling process, peel over the kitchen sink under a stream of cold running water.
