How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

  • Place the wire rack that came with your pot into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  • Add 1 cup of water to your Instant Pot
  • Place your eggs on top of the rack, about 7-8 eggs.
  • Seal your pressure cooker and make sure the vent is set to sealing. 
  • Set on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Use natural release for 5 minutes after the cooking time is finished.
  • Quick release any remaining pressure.
  • Remove eggs from Instant Pot using tongs.
  • Place eggs into a bowl of cold water and ice for 5 minutes.

Tips

  1. It is easy to remember the recipe for perfect hard boiled eggs. Just remember the number 5. High pressure for 5 minutes, natural release for 5 minutes, and a cold ice bath for 5 minutes.
  2. Set a timer during the natural release process and stop it after 5 minutes. Eggs will continue to cook during the natural release so you want to stop it after 5 minutes.
  3. Don’t skip the ice bath. The ice bath stops the cooking process and prevents the yolks from overcooking and turning gray.
  4. Gently tap or roll your eggs on the counter so that the shell begins to crack and it should pop right off. These hard boiled eggs are so easy to peel!
