Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
Making hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot takes all the guess work out of getting smooth, fully cooked, perfectly white and golden eggs every time. No more guessing how long to let the eggs boil, or worrying about a grey ring around the hardened yolk. We have been using the Instant Pot for the last few Easters to cook dozens of eggs in minutes. It saves so much time, and the eggs are done to perfection. It really helps speed things along when our children are begging for more eggs to dye! Try this simple method in your Instant Pot and we promise you’ll love it!
The 5-5-5 Method
For the best hard boiled eggs, remember this method: 5-5-5. Five minutes to pressure cook the eggs, five minutes to slowly release the pressure, then five minutes for the eggs to rest in an ice bath. That’s it! No guess work, no mess ups, nothing but beautifully hard boiled eggs that peel easily and look gorgeous in any recipe.
