Let’s go over what you need to do to cook perfect hard boiled eggs in your Instant Pot.

How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in an Instant Pot

1. Place a wire rack in the bottom. I used the one that came with the Instant Pot. If you don’t have the one that came with the pot, you can use a stainless steel rack as long as it fits inside of the pot.
2. Add 1 cup of water. The eggs steam instead of being fully submerged. This gives you an almost fluffy yolk on the inside.
   
3. Place the eggs on the wire rack.
   
4. Put the lid on.
5. Set the pressure cooker to high and for 6 minutes.
   
6. Do a quick release when the cooking cycle has completed.
7. Immediately remove the eggs from the Instant Pot.

Recipe Tips

• If you are using a larger pressure cooker be sure to add in additional water. Go up to 1 1/2 cups of water.
• Make sure to do a quick release, and remove the eggs from the pot, this way they don’t accidentally overcook.
• Can’t get your InstantPot to seal? Remove the lid and check the silicone ring to make sure it is in place.
