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.

Perfect every time! Finally my boiled eggs are perfect, thank you so much for taking the time to help novices learn the best way to boil eggs and to use the Insta pot
4 minutes didn’t seem to be enough time for me to get medium eggs – my husband peeled one and it was definitely on the soft side. Wonder what I did wrong!
Okay so new to insta pot and I just did that hard boiled eggs… OMG! I will never boil eggs again I did a eggs on 6 I might do it on 5 so I have a softer egg but I have never had had my eggs peel so easy… I love it thank you thank you thank you
I used your method. I cooked my eggs for 6 minutes and did a 5 minute ice bath afterwards (because I didn’t read your 1 minute instruction). My eggs were perfect and peeled easily. First time ever! Thank you.
Got IP yesterday, thank you for my first recipe!
Are use the steam setting and one cup of water Seven minutes
Perfect hard boiled eggs and so easy to peel…. I’ve never been good at making hard boiled eggs o never knew when they were done and hated peeling them this is awesome
Perfection!
My hubby was seriously skeptical but LOVED it. He said they were very easy to peel & perfectly cooked. This afternoon he went and got the Instant Pot from our overflow for larger kitchen items, marched into the kitchen, plopped it down, and asked for more. (I do the cooking.). Best and cleanest way ever.
Eggs were perfect and the easiest to peel!
I previously tried a different online recipe for IP hard boiled eggs (can’t recall which), and it was a complete failure. I didn’t want to get my hopes up again, but your instructions worked perfectly! I only used three eggs to finish off a carton and it still worked great. Eggs have never peeled so easily and quickly!
Thank you for the pictures and the perfect recipe! First online recipe I tried with my instant pot left me with chalky horribly overcooked eggs!
Haven’t tried yet but planning on it today. Now what’s your best kept secret about how to peel the darn things!!??
Kristen, they should be very easy to peel! 🙂
You got me hooked!! We love hard cooked eggs and have chickens that give us lots. But no one has the patience to peel them, especially fresh eggs. This worked like a dream. Thank you!!
Were perfect hard boiled. Next ill try nedium boiled. Thank you!!!
It’s such an easy way to do it, right? Thanks, Joyce!
4 minutes was perfection!
So easy, thanks!!
Fantastic. Eggs were perfect, and pealed like a dream. Thanks
Nothing as good as this. Thank you amazing. Only thing I’d say is that these are awesome.
I’ve been using this recipe for months. It works perfect every time! Thank you!
We love hearing that!
I did hard yokes, and it turned out great. Thank you!
Oh my goodness. I will never make hard-boiled eggs and different way again. Super easy, and I’ve never had such an easy time peeling eggs as I did after using the Insta pot! Total win!
Awesome!
Also makes perfect RAMEN EGG (AJITSUKE TAMAGO)
In the IP Duo 8L with two cups water and six eggs on trivet at the high setting for 3min and then 3 min ice bath, and then soaking the perfectly peeled eggs in a cold seasoning soy sauce (soup base broth, not just soy sauce) or the traditional dashi Mirin broth, we have restraunt quality ramen eggs at home! So happy 🙂
They turned out great.
Great!
