How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in Instant Pot
Can I Boil Eggs in my Instant Pot?
It is easy to boil eggs in the Instant Pot. All you need is to put the eggs in the bottom of the Instant Pot rack and add water. As the Instant Pot gets to pressure, it will boil the eggs and make easy hard boiled eggs.
How do you hard boil eggs so they peel easy?
It is awful when you have made a batch of hard boiled eggs that you can not get to peel. If you want to make hard boil eggs so they peel easily, you will want to peel the eggs when they are cold. The best way to have easy to peel eggs is to shock the eggs when you are done cooking them. This causes the egg to shrink slightly and it will peel much easier.
How many eggs can you boil in an Instant Pot?
Make Hard Boiled Eggs in Instant Pot
- Eggs (as many as you like to fill the bottom of the pot rack)
- 1 cup water
- Instant Pot electric pressure cooker
- Pour the water into the pot, and place the eggs in a steamer basket if you have one. If you don’t, just use the rack that came with your pot.
- Close the lid, set for 5 minutes at high pressure.
- It will take the cooker approximately 5 minutes to build to pressure and then 5 minutes to cook. I let the pressure naturally reduce for an additional 5 minutes after the cooking cycle completed, and then did a quick pressure release. That’s around 15 minutes, total.
- Place the hot eggs into cool water to halt the cooking process. You can peel immediately, or wait– it’s up to you. (The first time I did this, I didn’t plunge into cool water, and they still peeled very easily. The eggs were just slightly more cooked.)
