Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Insert a wire rack in the bottom of a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour in water. Carefully place raw eggs onto the rack, fitting them in tightly. Close and lock the lid.
• Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 4 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• As soon as the timer goes off, hit cancel and release the pressure using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid, as leaving eggs in longer will result in overcooked eggs.
• Transfer eggs to a large bowl using a serving spoon and cover with cold water. Let cool for 5 minutes. Peel while still warm and rinse off any shell pieces. Use immediately or store in the fridge.

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup water into a 6-quart multicooker. Place wire rack insert in bottom of bowl. Arrange eggs in a single layer on the wire rack. Secure lid and close pressure valve. Select the "Pressure Cook" setting, adjust pressure to high, and set timer for 3 minutes for soft-cooked, 4 minutes for medium-cooked, or 5 minutes for hard-cooked.
• Once cycle is complete, quickly release the pressure valve. Carefully remove lid and, using a pair of tongs, immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 2 minutes. Peel and serve or store, unpeeled, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• 5-Minute Quick Pressure Release Method:
• Pour the water into the Instant Pot and place a steamer basket or the trivet into the pot. Gently place up to 12 eggs into the basket or on top of the trivet, taking care not to crack the eggs as you add them. Secure the lid and set the Pressure Release to Sealing. Select the Manual setting and set the cooking time for 5 minutes at high pressure.
• While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath. When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes, then move the Pressure Release to Venting to release the remaining steam. Open the pot and transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool. Peel when ready to serve.
