Hard Boiled Eggs In An Instant Pot

How To Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

YOU WILL NEED – 

• Eggs – You can put 3-12 eggs inside your instant pot, so make as many as you need.
• 1 cup of water
• Pressure cooker with metal rack or steamer insert
• Slotted spoon
• Large bowl with ice and water

DIRECTIONS – 

1. Place your wire rack or steamer basket in the pressure cooker.
2. Add 1 cup of water.
3. Gently place your eggs inside the pressure cooker and lock the lid.
4. Turn the pressure cooker to LOW. Mine has a Rice/Risotto button that I use and it works perfectly!
5. Set the timer for 9-10 minutes and begin cooking the eggs. If you are using the Rice/Risotto button, the timer will set automatically.
6. When the cooking process is done, release the pressure valve to let all the steam out. Be careful and make sure the opening is pointed away from you so you don’t burn yourself.
7. Pull the hard boiled eggs out immediately with a slotted spoon and drop the carefully into your bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
8. Peel the eggs or store them in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Cooking Tips

Which Type Of Eggs To Use – If you happen to have chickens and gather your own eggs, you won’t want to use those right away. The pH level in freshly-gathered eggs are different that the eggs you buy in the store because as eggs age, the pH level will change. This will affect how easy the hard boiled eggs are to peel, so just make sure your eggs are at least 10 days old before using them.

Cool Them After Cooking – The ice bath is essential for getting eggs that will be easy to peel. You’ll want to make sure they have completely cooled before peeling them.

How Long Will They Last –  Hard boiled eggs, whether they are peeled or not, will typically last in the refrigerator for about seven days if you store them in an airtight container.

How To Use Them
