Boiled Eggs (Instant Pot)

instantpot-boiledeggs I've made several batches of boiled eggs. Sometimes they're for my own snacks and sometimes they are to make deviled eggs for a party. Of the many reasons why I love making boiled eggs this way. I do love how simple the recipe is to remember. In fact, because pressure cooking is more about the density of a single item in the pot, the cook time does not change whether you make 6 eggs or 18 eggs. The easiest way for me to remember the times is 5-5-5.

5 minutes high pressure.

5 minutes release.

5 minutes ice bath.

12 eggs
1 cup water

Pour water in bottom of Instant Pot. Add trivet to the pot. Spread 12 eggs in the trivet. (Note: water amount and cooking time are the same no matter how many eggs you are making)

Place lid on the pot and close the valve to the sealing position. Turn on high pressure for 5 minutes. Once it beeps that pressure cooking is over, set a timer for yourself for 5 minutes to remove to an ice bath for another 5 minutes. (5 minutes high pressure, 5 minutes natural release, 5 minutes ice bath)

Remove from ice bath and either store in the refrigerator for later (up to one week) or peel and enjoy. Can also use for deviled eggs or egg salads.
