Equipment

Instant Pot
Instant Pot trivet or metal steam basket

Ingredients

1 cup cold water see Notes
eggs
ice bath

Instructions

Pour 1 cup of water into Instant Pot. Set trivet or metal steam basket inside Instant Pot, then place eggs inside.
Place lid on Instant Pot and seal. Set to Manual High Pressure and cook for...
· 2 minutes for mostly set white and very runny yolk
· 3 minutes for set white and runny yolk
· 4 minutes for set white and jammy yolk
· 5 minutes for mostly set yolk with a tender quality
· 6 minutes for hard boiled without a chalky yolk, yolk still nice and orange
· 7 minutes for hard boiled with pale yellow yolk
Quick Release pressure as soon as cook time is up. Immediately remove eggs and carefully set into ice bath for 5 minutes.
When eggs have cooled completely, gently crack them by tapping or rolling entire surface of shell on countertop. Remove shells. If you prefer, you can store the eggs in their shells and peel them when you're ready to eat them.

Notes

A 3-quart or 6-quart Instant Pot will need 1 cup of water. An 8-quart Instant Pot will need 1.5 cups of water. Be sure to use cold water - warm or hot water will change the cook time.
Eggs will be very hot after cooking, so you may want to use a potholder to remove them from the Instant Pot.
This method will work for any type or number of eggs. Jumbo eggs may need an additional minute per recommended time to achieve the desired result.

We used a 6-quart Instant Pot to test and perfect this method. As with any appliance, cook times may vary slightly from one Instant Pot to another, and from one altitude to another.
