Introducing the 4 Step Method for Perfect Instant Pot Eggs:

Full Printable instructions below

  • 5 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure
  • 5 minutes to cook
  • 5 minutes natural release
  • 5 minutes enjoying a water bath (do NOT skip this step!)

Tips:

Do not crowd the Instant Pot or layer eggs on top of one another. It’s important to have some space for air circulation – so be sure to lay the eggs in a single layer like demonstrated below.

How to Peel your hard boiled eggs:

  • Once the eggs are fully cooked, place them in a large bowl of ice water. This prevents the eggs from becoming OVER cooked.
  • Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, place one on the kitchen counter and, using the palm of your hand, roll the egg back and forth applying a little pressure.  You want lots of ‘stress’ cracks.  You can do this directly on the counter or on a paper towel or kitchen towel.
  • You can also lightly tap the egg on the counter. Then simply go around the egg peeling the shell off.
  • If you find the shell is not coming off with ease, try running the egg under a light stream of cold water.
