Instant Pot Boiled Eggs

July 20, 2017 by Alex Daynes

Tired of playing the guessing game when making hard boiled eggs? Are you sick of throwing away overdone eggs, or runny centers? Are you wanting a full-proof method that you can use everything you need boiled eggs? I have the answer for you! Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs are perfect every time! This new method is so quick and simple, anybody can do it! Take the guessing game out of boiling your eggs and get perfect centers every time you make them! Let me show you how it is done!

Hey there! How many of you lovely people took advantage of the amazing sale on Amazon Prime Day for the Instant Pot!? If you don’t own one, that would have been a great time to get yourself one because I love mine and that was a great price! If you missed the sale and still want to get yourself an Instapot because you have heard how fabulous they are, you can buy one right here MUST HAVE INSTAPOT. If you did get a new Instant Pot or had one before and you are looking for new recipes, I have a full-proof one for you! Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs are perfect every single time! This new method is so easy and simple, I will never boil eggs another way!

This method of boiling eggs is as simple as adding water and pressing a button! No more waiting for water to boil, setting a time, and praying everything you crack an egg open that it is cooked properly! I have tried this out multiple times before sharing it with you because I wanted to make sure that it is perfect and it is! It works every time! I also think the eggs are easier to peel using this method for the end result! This method and the traditional method of boiling eggs take about the same amount of time, about 20 minutes total.

For your viewing pleasure, I put together a little video to show you exactly how to use your Instapot to get perfect hard boiled eggs every time! I will also add a written description of how to do this below!

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs 
Yields: As many eggs as you’d like

1 cup water
6-8 eggs (or more)
2 cups ice
2 cups water

In the Instant Pot, place the wire rack that came with the pot in the bottom. You can also use the steam basket attachment if you have that.

Place 6-8 eggs in between the wires in the Instant Pot.

Fill the pot with 1 cup cold water.

Place the lid on, turn the valve to seal, and manually set the timer for 5 minutes. The Instant Pot will take roughly 5 minutes to reach pressure before it begins counting down.

When the 5 minutes is finished, let the Instant Pot manually release for an additional 5 minutes. In the mean time, prepare an ice bath with ice and water for the eggs when they are finished.

When the pressure has manually released, open the valve to the venting position to release any additional pressure before opening the lid.

Place the eggs directly into the ice bath to halt the cooking process. Let sit for 5 minutes until cooled, then peel and serve or store for later use!
