INSTANT POT HARD BOILED EGGS

INSTANT POT HARD BOILED EGGS are amazing. They are perfectly cooked every single time. If you are looking for a simple way to make Instant Pot hard-boiled eggs, this is a perfect way. 

There is something perfect in its simplicity, the hard-boiled egg. This can be eaten at any time. My son Jason, an avid hockey player, usually eats them to increase his protein intake, which means breakfast, a mid-afternoon snack, or a snack right before a hockey game.

Here is a hack that I learned a long time ago, with my Instant Pot’s arrival and a curious imagination. Plus, it was Easter time, and making a lot of eggs is key when you have eager children ready to color, lots and lots of eggs.

The Secret is called the 5-5-5 method, which is easy enough for you to remember. 

• 5 Minutes: To come to pressure
• 5 Minutes: Cook Time
• 5 Minutes: Natural Release

This is also a great time saver because you can whip up deviled eggs in no time. Especially since you walk away after setting the time and temperature, what could be a perfect solution?

How many eggs can you hard boil in the instant pot?

The amount of eggs really depends on the size of your Instant Pot. For a 6 Quart, you will be able to hard-boil anywhere between 2 to 12 eggs. 

How long do hard-boiled eggs last?

Hard-boiled eggs last about a week in the refrigerator. They last longer if you do not peel them. Once y9ou peel them, they will only last about 3 to 4 days.

Why do my hard-boiled eggs crack in the Instant Pot?

They usually crack if they get moved in the Instant Pot, the best thing is to set them down on a trivet, so they don’t move so much.

How to peel hard-boiled eggs?

Do older eggs work better? 

The only problem I ever had was with farm fresh eggs; they tended to be harder to peel. Older eggs do fine, as do just purchased ones. The Instant Pot pressure cooking seems to work with all types of eggs.
