I know what you are thinking, everyone knows how to make boiled eggs and do not need to learn a new way to cook them. Well folks, if you have not made boiled eggs in the Instant pot you are missing out.
What makes the Instant Pot so much better than the old-fashioned way is that it requires no supervision, no worrying about turning off the pot when the eggs are done. Best of all they are always cooked perfectly.
All you need is one cup of water, Eggs and the instant pot. One cup of water will be sufficient for any amount of eggs.
This method is perfect for weekdays. I like to put the eggs in the pot right before I jump in the shower and they are done after I am out. What I love about Instant pot hard boiled eggs is that they peel so much easier than boiled eggs made the traditional way. I don’t know if it is the pressure and steam that helps with this but I love it. I have not had the not so pretty boiled eggs with shell stuck on the whites since I started using this electric pot.
I have the DUO60 Multi-use 6 qt 7-in-1 Instant Pot model which is my favorite gadget in the kitchen at the moment. Not only does the pot make the perfect eggs, it also makes the perfect rice, quinoa, polenta, potatoes and more! See my recipe for my Instant Pot Coconut Rice recipe.
The instant pot comes in different models and you can choose one based on your needs and preferences. I would like to mention that I am not in anyway associated with this brand, I just really like their product.
Shop your next Instant Pot:
| Prep Time | 11 minutes |
| Servings |
|
- 4 extra large Organic eggs
- 1 cups Water
Ingredients
|
|
- Pour water into the Instant pot and place the eggs on the rack that comes with the pot. You can use a steamer basket or egg stand.
- Close and lock the lid then set timer for 5 minutes at high pressure. Pressure will build for about 5 minutes
- It will take 5 minutes for the eggs to cook. After 5 minutes when the beep goes off, perform a quick release by opening the steam valve.
- Place cooked eggs in a bowl with cold water for about a minute and peel to reveal perfect eggs.
Play around with the cooking time and pressure release. If you prefer softer boiled eggs, cook on low pressure and for slow release for 5 minutes for really boiled eggs.

November 21, 2017 at 3:07 amI’ve never tried cooking in an instant pot, but I would be really keen to try. We love our hard boiled eggs here at home but it’s always such a hassle trying to figure out how long they should cook. This sounds so much easier

November 21, 2017 at 3:43 pmI can see this tip being handy to those who live in tiny houses. I know a few that rely heavily on an instant pot for cooking, because of its size and convince. I’ll have to ask them if they’ve tried tis and if they haven’t pass it along to them.
