Now your eggs will come out absolutely perfect every time in the pressure cooker! All you need is 3-7 min! That’s it!
How do you like your eggs? A soft boil, a medium boil, or a hard boil?
I prefer a soft boil. I love a runny yolk.
But, no matter what you prefer, I have you guys completely covered to make the absolute perfect hard boiled eggs right in your pressure cooker! All you need is your metal trivet (the one that came with the IP), 1 cup water, and 6-12 eggs.
From there, you can set your timer anywhere from 3-7 minutes (depending on your preference). That’s it! No babysitting. No fuss. No waiting for the water to come to a boil. No nothing.
And you know what? They’re even easier to peel than traditional hard boiled eggs.
After this, you’ll never want to make hard boiled eggs on the stovetop ever again.

I don’t have an Instapot. I have an electric pressure cooker with no attachments. How can I adjust my recipes for this ?
The instant pot is but one specific electric pressure cooker. If you have a trivette for a steamer that fits inside your electric pressure cooker you should be able to use that trivette inside your electric pressure cooker Steve same way. Because models of electric pressure cookers all cook at slightly different temperatures and pressures you might want to cook a small test batch to make sure your egg yolks are cooked to the consistency you prefer.
I dont have a IP or a trivet. So what would you suggest?
The eggs peel so easy, many IP owners say even if that was the only perk, they would have bought one just for that reason. I just want to add that there’s been many discussions on cooking times. The one’s posted here are a good start, but depending on your IP (my 6 qt Duo is more sensitive), you’ll have to adjust the time a bit lower or higher. You can use eggs right from the fridge and no need for an ice bath afterwards. As far as how many you can do, some have filled their IP with dozens on the trivet and they come out perfect everytime!
Wow! So amazingly simple and easy indeed!
Thank sc Chungah!
I don’t have an instant pot how do I convert to a regular pot?
I don’t have an Instant Pot, but I can still set mine for high and 3 -7 min.
