Hard Boiled Eggs
“5-5-5 method.” It’s easy to remember off the top of your head! Five minutes pressure cook, five minutes release and five minutes to cool. Don’t have an Instant Pot? This can be modified for an electric pressure cooker.
Here are the steps:
- Pour water (approx 1 cup) in Instant Pot. Place steamer basket or trivet on top of water. Carefully place eggs on top of trivet or basket.
- Secure the lid. Set the pressure release to Sealing.
- Select Manual setting and set the cooking time to 5 minutes at High Pressure.**
- While cooking, prepare an ice bath.
- When cooking is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. Then, move the pressure release to Venting to release all remaining steam.
- Open the pot and transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel when ready to eat or use.
We’ve heard that cooking time should be increased to 7 minutes for extra-large eggs and 8 minutes for jumbo eggs. You can also reduce to 3 minutes for soft boiled eggs.
