🥚 Consistently perfect hard‑boiled eggs every time with minimal effort using the Instant Pot.
🍳 Ideal for meal prep, snacks, or salads – the quick pressure‑cook method yields easy‑to‑peel eggs in just minutes.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 12 hard‑boiled eggs (adjust quantity as needed)

Ingredients

– 1-12 large eggs for protein and nutrition

– 1 cup cold tap water for steam (increase to 1.5 cups for 8-quart pot)

Instructions

1-Pour the measured cold water into the Instant Pot’s inner pot to build the necessary steam and pressure.

2-Position a metal trivet or rack inside the pot and arrange the eggs on it you can stack them if needed.

3-Close the lid and set the vent to sealing, then select the High Pressure setting for 5 minutes using the manual or pressure-cook function.

4-Once the timer ends, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes before quickly releasing any remaining pressure.

5-Transfer the eggs right away to an ice-water bath and let them sit for 5 minutes to cool down and ease peeling.

6-Pat the eggs dry, peel them, and enjoy them in your favorite dishes; adjust cooking time for different egg sizes if needed.

Notes

🧪 Test with a single egg first to confirm your preferred doneness.
❄️ Always start with cold water; it creates the pressure needed for consistent results.
🥚 Slightly older, room‑temperature eggs peel more easily than very fresh eggs.
