Instant Pot Magic With Boiled Eggs

I just want to go on record as saying that my Instant Pot produced the most beautiful boiled eggs that I have made in low these many years of boiling eggs. Plus, it was simple and easy.

Below is the recipe and some photos of my perfect boiled eggs. I realize this is not earth-shattering information, but if you like/need to make boiled eggs and you happen to have an Instant Pot, then this is info that you need to know. Besides, there’s just something very satisfying about making a perfectly boiled egg and then sharing that joy with others.

Here’s the foolproof recipe:

HOW TO COOK HARD BOILED EGGS IN AN INSTANT POT

1. Place 1 cup of COLD water in inner pot of pressure cooker (liquid is ALWAYS needed for the pressure cooker to be able to reach pressure.)

2. Place eggs in egg rack or carefully on top of rack that the Instant Pot came with.

3. Seal pressure cooker.

4. Set cook time to 5 minutes (5 minutes on high pressure–push the manual button and adjust the timer to 5 minutes)

5. After cook time has elapsed, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes (I suggest setting a timer that will beep at 5 minutes so you don’t lose track of time. )

6. Once 5 minutes has elapsed, release any remaining pressure in the Instant Pot by using wooden spoon or kitchen towel to knock vent knob to vent position.

7. Carefully, remove eggs from pressure cooker and place in ice bath. Eggs are VERY hot, so use a potholder.

8. After eggs have been in ice bath for 5 minutes, remove and peel.

9. Enjoy your PERFECT hard-boiled eggs.
