Print Recipe

This easy Instant Pot hard boiled eggs recipe delivers perfectly cooked eggs with shells that peel off effortlessly every time. Quick, simple, and reliable, it’s ideal for meal prep or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 to 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • Ice for ice bath

Instructions

  1. Place the steaming rack or trivet inside the Instant Pot.
  2. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of cold water, ensuring it does not touch the eggs.
  3. Gently place 6 to 12 large eggs on the rack in a single layer.
  4. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the pressure valve to sealing.
  5. Select the ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ setting on high pressure and set the timer for 5 minutes (for large eggs).
  6. Allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes after cooking.
  7. Carefully switch the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.
  8. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl filled with ice water.
  9. Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes to cool completely.
  10. Gently tap eggs on a hard surface and roll to crack the shell all over, then peel under running water if desired.

Notes

Use eggs that have been in the fridge for about a week for easier peeling. Do not stack eggs in the Instant Pot to ensure even cooking. The ice bath is essential to stop cooking and help peel the eggs easily. Adjust cooking time for softer or firmer yolks: 4 minutes for softer, 6 minutes for firmer.
