How to Make Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: generic brand eggs

Egg whites reduce cholesterol while providing protein.

Load eggs into a steamer basket or stack them on a trivet in the Instant Pot.

Add 1 cup of water into the base of the 6 quart Instant Pot (or 1.5 cups for larger pots).

Place the steamer basket with eggs into the Instant Pot.

Ensure the lid is on and the top knob is pointing towards sealing.

Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 5 minutes using the manual or pressure cook button.

Wait for the Instant Pot to come to pressure (approximately 10 minutes).

After 5 minutes of cooking, allow for a natural pressure release for 5 minutes.

Prepare an ice bath while the eggs are cooking.

After the natural pressure release, carefully turn the knob to release any remaining pressure.

Transfer the eggs directly from the Instant Pot to the ice bath, ensuring the water covers the eggs.

Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for 5 minutes to cool.

Remove the eggs from the ice bath and dry them off.

To peel, tap the bottom and top of the egg, then roll it under your hand with medium pressure.
