Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • 5 cups water (One cup into the instant pot, 4 cups use for ice bath)
  • 2 cups ice (Use for ice bath)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put one cup of water into the instant pot. Then, put a rack into the pot.
  2. Next, put 12 eggs on the rack. After, cover the lid and close the vent. Push the manual button, adjust time to 2 minutes at high pressure. Then, natural release pressure (usually 8-10 minutes).
  3. In a bowl, put 2 cups of ice and 4 cups of water. When the eggs are done, put them into the ice bath for a couple minutes or until the ice melts.
  4. After that, peel off the egg shells.

Notes

  • In order to make perfect hard boiled eggs, using an instant pot pressure cooker is crucial.
  • Timing is very important. If time is too short, egg yolk is running. On the other hand, when time is too long, egg white texture will be harder. Also, I have tried different times to cook hard boiled eggs. As a result, I like manual 2 minutes and natural release methods because eggs are cooked through, soft and smooth.
  • Put eggs into an ice bath right after the natural release is done. Then, let the eggs soak in the ice water for a couple minutes before peeling them. This helps the egg and membrane separate, so the shell comes off easily and has smooth and perfect eggs.
