Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
Description
The Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe uses a pressure cooker set with a trivet and one cup of water. Eggs are placed carefully to avoid cracking, and cooked at high pressure for five minutes. A natural pressure release of five minutes is followed by a quick release of remaining pressure, allowing gentle cooking that prevents overcooking and shell sticking.
After cooking, eggs go into cold ice water to cool and stop cooking immediately, which also facilitates peeling. The recipe notes that it works well with large, medium, and extra large eggs. Eggs can be stored in the refrigerator after peeling and served as desired.
Calorie estimates per egg vary by brand; consulting a nutritionist is recommended for exact figures.
