Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
Ingredients:
- 6 raw eggs
- 1 cup water
Directions:
- Place your egg rack in the bottom of your Instant Pot.
- Pour in one cup of water.
- Place eggs in the holder (mine holds seven), replace the lid to the pot, turn the valve to seal, and pressure cook for 5 minutes on high pressure.
- Let the pot sit after cooking for an additional 3 minutes before doing a quick-release for the rest of the pressure.
- Place eggs in cold water/ice bath until cooled and ready to peel.
Marsha's Notes:
The recipe I referenced to do my eggs said you could use the steam rack that comes with most pots, but I had an actual egg rack, so that is what I used. My egg rack limits me to seven eggs at a time, where with the steam rack, the recipe suggested that you could put as many as a dozen eggs in your post to cook at a time. I imagine that I could "over stack" eggs with my egg rack as well and cook a dozen, but so far, I have only tried doing the seven that would fit.
Update:
I made a batch of 18 eggs to take to Easter for decorating this year (2024) and the eggs ended up with that grey ring around the yolks when cut. I read online that the grey is caused by overcooking the eggs slightly, or not cooling them off fast enough. While I did use an ice bath immediately after taking the eggs out of the cooker, I think next time I will cook them a little less and leave them in the ice for like 30 minutes to make sure they are really cold, and hopefully return and report what happens. I cooked them at high pressure for 5 minutes, then slow release for 5 minutes, then quick release and immediately in the ice bath. Next time, I think will try the slow release for only 3 minutes. I will make the change in the above recipe.
