Boiled Eggs In An Instant Pot Recipe 475 Food

INSTANT POT HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Set the trivet in the bottom of a 6-quart Instant Pot® multi-cooker. Gently place the eggs on top of the trivet. Pour 1 cup water into the pot. Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on low 4 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the eggs to a large ice bath and let cool for about 5 minutes.
• Remove the eggs from the ice bath and peel or refrigerate until ready to use.

HOW TO MAKE HARD-BOILED EGGS IN THE INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Fill your Instant Pot with 1 cup of water and place the steamer rack inside.
• Add eggs to the rack, pointing up or down (it doesn't seem to matter).
• Replace the Instant Pot lid and set the release toggle to SEALING.
• Press the "Manual" button or, if you have a newer model, the "Pressure Cook" button. This will cook the eggs at high pressure. Set the time for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a medium-size bowl with cold water and a few ice cubes.
• When your Instant Pot has counted down to 0, do a quick release by moving the toggle from "SEALING" to "VENTING." Watch out for steam burns! Let the steam escape completely. Remove the lid from the Instant Pot.
• Using tongs, carefully transfer each egg to the water bath and let them sit there for a few minutes until cool. This will help keep the eggs from overcooking.
• Eggs keep refrigerated for about 5 days. I store them peel-on so they don't stink up the fridge; they're super easy to peel either way. To aid in the peeling process, peel over the kitchen sink under a stream of cold running water.

Steps:

• Pour 1 cup water into a 6-quart multicooker. Place wire rack insert in bottom of bowl. Arrange eggs in a single layer on the wire rack. Secure lid and close pressure valve. Select the "Pressure Cook" setting, adjust pressure to high, and set timer for 3 minutes for soft-cooked, 4 minutes for medium-cooked, or 5 minutes for hard-cooked.
• Once cycle is complete, quickly release the pressure valve. Carefully remove lid and, using a pair of tongs, immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 2 minutes. Peel and serve or store, unpeeled, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
