Hard Boiled Eggs in Instant Pot
Description
Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot is a straightforward recipe involving cooking eggs on a steam rack above cold water inside the pressure cooker. After setting the cook time to 5 minutes and allowing for natural pressure release, the eggs are transferred to an ice bath which helps stop cooking and makes peeling easier. The use of a rack keeps the eggs from directly contacting the water, ensuring even cooking and preventing cracking.
The eggs peel cleanly right after the ice bath and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days, making them convenient for meal prep or snacks. This recipe can accommodate from 1 up to 16 eggs in a 6-quart instant pot.
Room temperature eggs reduce cracking risk. It is important to use cold water to maintain accurate cooking time, as using warm or hot water would affect cooking consistency.
Ingredients
- 12 egg
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- If you have a 6-quart instant pot use 1 cup of COLD water. If your pot is 8 quarts use 1½ cups COLD water.
- Place the egg/steam rack into the pot, over the water. Carefully set the eggs on top of the rack.
- Secure the lid and set the cook time for 5 minutes.
- Once the time has finished, allow the pressure to naturally release for about 5 minutes. Then do a quick release.
- Carefully remove the eggs and place them in an ice water bath for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the eggs, crack the shell, and peel. Store the eggs in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
- This method works for cooking between 1 and 16 eggs in a 6-quart Instant Pot.
- Peeling eggs immediately after the ice water bath results in smooth, easy shell removal.
- Using room temperature eggs helps prevent shells from cracking during cooking.
- Always use cold water as hot or warm water alters cooking time and doneness.
