6 large eggs

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.
