IP HARD "BOILED" EGG
Steaming eggs makes them easier to peel. This method in the Instant Pot worked well for me. When I tried the "5-5-5" method (5 min. high pressure, 5 min.

Steps:
- 1. Put 1 cup water in 8 qt. Instant Pot. Place rack in pot. Place 8 eggs on rack, with space between each egg.
- 2. I live at 670' elevation. Higher elevations may have longer cooking times. Similarly, bigger eggs may need longer. Pressure cook high 4 min. 3 minutes NR. Immediately place eggs in an ice water bath for 6 minutes. (I partially fill sink with cold tap water & add all my ice packs to it.) Alternatively, you can pressure cook high 6 minutes, immediate manual pressure release, then ice bath for 5 minutes. Smack egg & roll on counter to crack shell, then peel. Store in fridge.
Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: Older eggs are more likely to crack during cooking.
- Start with cold eggs: This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking.
- Add salt to the water: This will help the eggs to peel more easily.
- Cook the eggs for the right amount of time: Overcooked eggs will be dry and rubbery.
- Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath: This will stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
- Peel the eggs under cold water: This will help to remove the shells more easily.
Conclusion:
Boiling eggs in an Instant Pot is a quick and easy way to cook them perfectly. By following these tips, you can ensure that your hard-boiled eggs are cooked to perfection every time. Whether you're making deviled eggs, egg salad, or simply enjoying them as a snack, hard-boiled eggs are a versatile and delicious food that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
