Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pour the water into the pot, and place the eggs in a steamer basket if you have one. If you don’t, just use the rack that came with your pot.
  2. Close the lid, set for 5 minutes at high pressure.
  3. It will take the cooker approximately 5 minutes to build to pressure and then 5 minutes to cook. I let the pressure naturally reduce for an additional 5 minutes after the cooking cycle completed, and then did a quick pressure release. That’s around 15 minutes, total.
  4. Place the hot eggs into cool water to halt the cooking process. You can peel immediately, or wait– it’s up to you. (The first time I did this, I didn’t plunge into cool water, and they still peeled very easily. The eggs were just slightly more cooked.)
