Ingredients
6eggsor as many as you choose (more will not increase cooking time)
1cupfiltered wateror the amount your Instant Pot recommends as the minimum to bring to pressure.
Instructions
Pour 1 cup water in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Set trivet in the Instant Pot.
Place eggs carefully on the trivet, using a steamer basket if you are cooking more than will easily fit.
Set Instant Pot to Manual --> 6 Minutes
Allow Instant Pot to come to pressure and cook.
When timer goes off, quick release the Instant Pot (set to vent).
Fill a bowl that will hold all your eggs with cold water. I like to do this in the sink so I can easily drain and re-fill with cold water again to quickly cool the eggs. This keeps the eggs from getting the greenish tinge to the outside of the yolk.
Once you can release the lid, open and use tongs or a ladle to plunge hot eggs into cold water.
After 5 minutes, pour off most of the water and add more cold water to continue cooling.
Your eggs are now ready to peel! Gently tap on the counter or a cutting board, and peel the shell off under a little running water.
