Perfect Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

Perfect Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs


Ingredients

4-12 eggs

1-2 c water

1-2 L water for chilling the hard-boiled eggs in a water bath


Instructions

  1. Put the triffet in the Instant Pot and add 1-2 cups of water.
  2. For older models, press the manual button and enter 8 minutes at high pressure. Newer models have an "Egg" button; modify the time to 8 minutes.
  3. Put lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the valve is sealed.
  4. Allow the Instant Pot to come up to temperature and pressure and begin the 8-minute countdown. 
  5. After 8 minutes, release the pressure and carefully move the eggs to the water bath. I recommend not handling the eggs with your hands; use tongs or silicon gloves that resist heat.
  6. Once the eggs have chilled for 5 minutes, you can shell them in the water for easy shell removal.

Notes

Using pressure to make hard-boiled eggs will result in some broken shells. So, if you use this process to color Easter eggs, you will be disappointed.
