Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- If you have a 6-quart instant pot use 1 cup of COLD water. If your pot is 8 quarts use 1½ cups COLD water.
- Place the egg/steam rack into the pot, over the water. Carefully set the eggs on top of the rack.
- Secure the lid and set the cook time for 5 minutes.
- Once the time has finished, allow the pressure to naturally release for about 5 minutes. Then do a quick release.
- Carefully remove the eggs and place them in an ice water bath for about 5 minutes.
- Remove the eggs, crack the shell, and peel. Store the eggs in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
You can cook as few as 1 egg or as many as 16 eggs in a 6 qt Instant Pot
The shells peel best when taken right out of the water bath. They come off beautifully every single time!
Use room temperature eggs to help keep them from cracking
Be sure to use COLD Water. If you use warm or hot water the cook time will be different.
