Instant Pot Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

What better time than now to have a “recipe” on how to boil a large batch of eggs at one time? Right before Easter, the holiday where I’m pretty sure the most amount of eggs are boiled, dyed, hunted, and consumed. This method for Instant Pot Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs is fail proof. If you follow the instructions, it works every single time. I’ve done this hundreds of times and have yet to have it not work. So, instead of fighting shells and heating up your kitchen with your stove going non stop, lets get to how you can hard boil mass amounts of eggs at one time in a fail proof way with your Instant Pot!

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED FOR THIS RECIPE:

• water
• eggs
• THAT’S IT!

HOW TO MAKE PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS IN THE INSTANT POT:

Place the trivet (that came with your IP) into the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Pour your water into the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Place your eggs on top of the trivet. You can use any number of eggs you’d like.

Place the lid on the Instant Pot, set to sealing, set the pot and walk away!

Once the timer goes off, release the steam. Once the steam is released, open the Instant Pot and immediately add your eggs (using tongs) to a bowl of ice water.

Peel your eggs and you’re done!

TIPS AND NOTES FOR INSTANT POT PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS

• You can use any number of eggs. If you’re using more than will fit on one layer, just stay the eggs. You just have to make sure they aren’t touching the water, that’s the only requirement. You can make anywhere from 1 to however many will fit in the pot! You still just use the same amount of water.
• If you want a softer boiled egg, use less time. I prefer mine hard boiled so I do mine the full 10 minutes.
• Peel them right away, don’t wait. I’ve found that if you try to wait until later, they don’t peel as easy.
• After removing from the ice bath, I find that cracking it on the side with the little empty space and starting to peel from there gives the easiest and best peeling results.
