Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

I know what you are thinking – Should I really use my sophisticated-amazing-perfect Instant Pot to make a simple thing such as hard boiled eggs?

I want to make beef stew! I want to make orange chicken like in the restaurant! I want to make cakes! I can make eggs on the stovetop and keep my Instant Pot to better stuff.

Well, believe me, after the first time you make this Instant Pot hard boiled eggs, you won’t be able to cook eggs any other way ever again! Why? 3 simple reasons:

1. You can make a huge amount of eggs in one time. In one level trivet, I can make up to 12 eggs using my standard 6-quart Instant Pot.
2. It’s super clean! The eggs don’t break or explode all over your precious pot!
3. Using this method, makes the eggs very easy to peel! It’s like a magic!

I’m keeping them in the fridge and eat them all in 3 days. Means if I make them in Sunday evening, I can eat them till Wednesday evening.

How many eggs can you make at once?

You can make 4, 6 or even 12 eggs to same way with only 1 cup of water. When cooking eggs using the Instant Pot, the steam does the work for us. Just make sure you put the eggs in once layer and that they are not touching each other.

Do I need any special accessory to make boiled eggs?

For this recipe you will need an egg rack  metal trivet  steamer basket in order to make the eggs. Even if you don’t have any special accessory, for the first time you can use the simple trivet that you got any you purchased the Instant Pot. Later you can get dedicated trivets that come with handles so you can make much more eggs at once and take them out all together.

Personally I’m using the basic one that comes with the Instant Pot or this blue silicone egg bites molds (You can use the coupon code 9ZBU6GUH for 5% off).
