Description

Comes out perfect every time and could not be easier to do!!


Ingredients

Scale
  • Instant Pot (pressure cooker)
  • Steamer Basket or Rack ( that came with Instant Pot)
  • eggs
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  1. Pour the water into the pot, and place the eggs in a steamer basket if you have one. If you don’t, just use the rack that came with your pot.( I use the rack)
  2. Close the lid, set for 5 minutes at high pressure for firm yolk eggs. For softer eggs set it for 14 minutes at low pressure.
  3. It will take the cooker approximately 5 minutes to build to pressure and then 5 minutes to cook. I have let the pressure naturally reduce for an about 5 minutes after the cooking cycle was done, and then did a quick pressure release. I am sure you could do a quick pressure release sooner–just be careful of all that hot steam!!
  4. Place the hot eggs into a bowl of cold water to halt the cooking process (I normally add ice to help them cool quickly) You can peel immediately, or wait– it’s up to you. I usually store them in the fridge in their peel–I think they last longer that way.
