Have you heard of an Instant Pot?  It’s this amazing contraption that sits on your counter and scares the heck out of you every time you look at it.  Atleast, that’s what I’ve heard from a lot of people.

My expereince is much more pleasant.  From the moment I received my pot, I’ve had nothing but success with every recipe I have tried.  This may be due to my immense need to research every decision I make.  That was definitely true with my Instant Pot purchase.  I read and read some more to make sure I knew everything there was to know before I took the plunge.

There is quite a learning curve when it comes to the Instant Pot.  One food item that seems to give people the most trouble is hard boiled eggs.  I am going to de-mistify the mysterious egg and give you eggs that are easy to peel.  All you need is you’re trusty Instant Pot!

I have the Instant Pot 6 quart Duo.  This works with any Instant Pot though.  You will need the trivet that came with the pot, eggs, and 1 cup of water.

Place your water in your liner (the silver inner pot), then put your trivet in the pot.  put your eggs on top of the trivet.  I usually cook 6 eggs at a time.  I have heard of people cooking 12+ eggs with the same success, but I have not tried it so I am not going to say it works.

If you want to cook the eggs in an oven safe dish, a silicone steamer, or anything else in the pot with the eggs, this will increase the cooking time.  You will need to do your own experimenting in that case.

Close the lid to the pot and set the pressure release valve to sealing.  Press the manual button and press the + or – button to set it to 6 minutes.  This will give you eggs that are cooked all the way through.  If you like the center a little softer (like in my photo), set the time to 5 minutes.  I like mine like this but if I’m making deviled eggs, I cook for 6 minutes.

The pot will take about 5 minutes to come to pressure then the countdown will begin.  After the cooking time is done, release the pressure (quick release).

Remove the whole liner from the pot and add cold water from the faucet. I use these mits to get the liner out of the pot.  They are amazing!

After the eggs are cool enough to handle you can peel them!  I crack the eggs all the way around and then the peel jut slides right off.  You can also put them in the refrigerator if you like to make your eggs ahead of time.

I’ll never make eggs the old way again!  I have some trusty Instant Pot recipes on my website: Instant Pot Chicken Breast, Instant Pot Whole Chicken, Pressure Cooker Pot Roast, and Instant Pot Ribs!

So do you have an Instant Pot?  Will you make these Instant Pot hard boiled eggs?
