Instructions

How to Prep to Make Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

  • To start, you'll need to place the Instant Pot rack inside the inner pot. This is an important step as the rack will hold the eggs and prevent them from touching the bottom of the pot where the heat is most intense.
  • Once the rack is in place, add two cups of water into the Instant Pot. The water is crucial for creating the steam that will pressure cook the eggs.
  • Next, carefully place your eggs onto the Instant Pot rack. You can cook as many eggs as the rack can hold, just make sure they're not stacked or overcrowded.

How to Set Instant Pot Properly

  • Now, secure the Instant Pot lid and make sure the Pressure Release is set to Sealing. This will ensure that the steam is trapped inside the pot, which is necessary for the pressure cooking process.
  • Press the Pressure Cook button and set the cooking time to exactly seven minutes. This is the perfect amount of time to get a fully cooked, yet still creamy yolk.

How to Handle Eggs After Cooking in an Instant Pot

  • Once the cooking time is over, carefully turn the pressure release to Venting. This will manually release the steam from the Instant Pot. Be cautious during this step as the steam will be hot.
  • Using kitchen mittens for safety, remove the inner pot of the Instant Pot and place it under running cold water in the sink. Allow the water to pour over the eggs for about a minute. This will help halt the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
  • After rinsing, let the eggs sit in the cold water for about thirty minutes. This will cool them down completely and make them even easier to peel. You can peel the eggs when you're ready to serve them.
  • Your delicious Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs are ready to be served!
