Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
Hard boiled eggs are just so useful! This Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe makes keeping a bunch on hand in the fridge incredibly easy! Just set your timer and come back to perfect eggs, every single time!
Ingredients
- 12 - 13 Medium/Large Eggs
- 1 Cup + Extra Water
- Ice
Instructions
- Wash and dry your eggs, if desired.
- Place the eggs in one layer, in the bottom of the pot, making sure to not stack them on top of each other.
- Add water.
- Place your instant pot on manual/high pressure and set the timer for 5 minutes. It will take it about 5 minutes to pressurize and then it will start the 5-minute cooking countdown.
- Let the pot naturally release for 5 minutes before manually releasing and removing the eggs.
- Fill a bowl big enough to hold the eggs, with water and some ice.
- Immediately place the eggs from the instant pot into the cold water. Leave for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
●I used a 6-quart instant pot. If you have a smaller or larger one, you may need to reduce or add more eggs.
●You do not need the water to cover the eggs. It just needs to be about halfway up the eggs.
●An ice bath is one of the best ways to ensure the eggs will peel easily after cooking. However, you can also add a teaspoon of baking soda to the cooking water as that tends to help as well.
●Farm fresh eggs do not peel well, no matter what. So, be aware that they might give you issues, even if you try these techniques.
●Actual cooking time is only 5 minutes, but it will take time to pressurize before cooking starts, and you have the release after it cooks, which also takes more time. Therefore, I believe it’s truly 15 minutes for the full cooking time.
