    Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs – Easy Video Recipe

    Making Instant Pot hard boiled eggs is the easiest method to use if you love easy peel eggs. Once you see how simple using your pressure cooker is, you will never make them another way. This method will work for 1 or 2 eggs as well as an entire steamer basket full of eggs, using any size Instant Pot!

    I use my Instant Pot for meals probably about 5 to 6 times a week. I make these hard boiled eggs at least 2-3 times a week. To say I love my Instant Pot would be an understatement. I love how easy it is to use and that I only have 1 pot to clean up when dinner is done. Making pressure cooker taco meat is so simple and easy, it makes our Taco Tuesday a breeze!

    Seriously, the Instant Pot is a busy parent’s best friend. If you aren’t sure where to start be sure to check out this Pressure Cooker Guide. I found this information very helpful when I first started out.

    Now… back to the eggs!

    What is the best method to make eggs peel easily?

    I eat a ton of hard boiled eggs. We go through at least a dozen eggs every week between my husband and I. Over the years I have tried all kinds of cooking methods for easy peeling eggs and making them in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker is the best method I have used. Once you see how easy the egg shells come off of your egg you won’t cook them any other way.

    It is a game changer!

    What setting do I use to make hard boiled eggs in an Instant Pot?

    The most foolproof setting to use to make hard boiled eggs in your pressure cooker is the 5-5-5 method. That means cooking them at high pressure for 5 minutes, allowing a 5 minutes natural release and then placing them in an ice bath for 5 minutes. A natural release is when you don’t release the steam as soon as the pressure cooker is done cooking. You keep it on the warm setting for 5 minutes and then you release whatever pressure is left in the pot before opening it.

    How many eggs can you cook at one time?

    You can cook as many eggs as you would like to in a pressure cooker. I have used this method to cook over 2 dozen once. I have also used this same method to cook 2.

    Can eggs touch in a pressure cooker?

    Yes, it won’t hurt the eggs any to be touching. What you don’t want is for the eggs to be touching the sides of the Instant Pot. This is why they need to be on the trivet or in a steamer basket when they cook. I will pile as many as I can in a steamer basket. It does get a little tricky if you are using a trivet and a 3 quart pressure cooker like I am using in the video. If you like to cook a lot of eggs you will want to use a 6 quart.

    Will my hard boiled eggs crack when I use an Instant Pot?

    They absolutely could. Cooking eggs under pressure could cause them to crack when they are cooking. If you find that a lot of your eggs are doing this you can use the low pressure method instead. Cook for 12 minutes on low pressure and let naturally release for 6 minutes, perfect every time!

    What recipes can I make using hard boiled eggs?

    I enjoy sprinkling a little Everything Bagel Seasoning on my eggs and calling it a day. It is my favorite way to eat them. However, I also use them a lot in my recipes. My favorites is an easy potato salad with egg or of course a classic deviled egg like my grandma used to make!

    While the classics are always a great idea, why not jazz it up a little?  Try our Bloody Mary deviled eggs or our spicy Cajun deviled eggs for a fun twist. This is a great way to use up all those Easter Eggs!
