Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs
The best and easiest way to make hard-boiled eggs is in an Instant Pot. It's quick and easy, and the eggs peel like a dream!
Servings: 6 (1 egg per serving)
Estimated Calories: 70
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1½ cups water
Instructions
- Place the water in the Instant Pot. Place the steamer rack in the pot. Place the eggs on the rack, spacing them evenly.
- Put the lid on the Instant Pot. Turn the steam release handle to "sealing." Press Manual (or Pressure Cook, depending on the model of your Instant Pot) and set the time to 6 minutes at high pressure. (Note: It will take about 8 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure before the cooking time will begin to count down).
- When the cooking time is finished, immediately turn the steam release handle to "venting" (please be careful and take precautions - there is HOT steam that will come out) and quick-release the pressure.
- Remove the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, about 6 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the ice water. Peel and serve.
Recipe Notes
- Store any leftover hard-boiled eggs (unpeeled) in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Cooking time of 6 minutes is for standard large store-bought eggs. If your eggs are smaller or larger, you may need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- I used an 8-quart Instant Pot for this recipe.
