Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
A quick and easy method for making the perfect hard, medium, or soft boiled eggs every time, using an Instant Pot!
Servings: 8 eggs
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 8 to 12 large eggs
Instructions
- Add 1 cup of water to a 6-quart Instant Pot. Add 1-½ cups of water if your Instant Pot is 8-quarts or larger.
- Place metal trivet inside the Instant Pot. Arrange the eggs on the metal trivet. I cook up to 8 eggs at a time, but you can certainly fit more than that.
- Close the lid and seal the valve.
- Press the “Manual” button; set pressure to HIGH and set the timer:3 minutes for soft boiled eggs5 minutes for medium boiled eggs7 minutes for hard boiled eggs
- In the meantime prepare a large bowl with water and couple cups of ice.
- Once the eggs are done cooking, do a quick release.
- Remove the lid, and using a pair of tongs, carefully remove each egg from the Instant Pot and directly to the ice bath. Let cool for several minutes.
- Peel and serve.
- You can also store the peeled eggs in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
Notes
- Soft boiled = cooked whites, runny yolks
- Medium boiled = firm whites, creamy, but firm yolks
- Hard boiled = firm white and firm yolks
- If your eggs are smaller than “large”, they may need a little less time to cook.
