Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot
Description
The method involves placing 12 eggs on a rack inside the Instant Pot with one cup of cold water. The pot is sealed and set to manual pressure cook for 6 minutes. After cooking, allowing a natural pressure release for 5 minutes helps finish cooking gently. Any remaining steam is then released manually using a safe method to avoid burns. The eggs are immediately placed into an ice water bath to cool and stop the cooking process.
This technique results in eggs cooked evenly with firm whites and yolks while making peeling easier due to the pressure cooking and immediate cooling. The recipe is designed to produce a batch sized for typical household use.
Cooked eggs can be stored in their carton in the refrigerator for up to one week. Marking the carton or the eggs helps distinguish them from raw. This approach saves space and keeps eggs fresh for snacking, salads, or recipes requiring hard boiled eggs.
