Easiest method to hard boil eggs.
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Servings 6 eggs
Calories 378kcal

Equipment

  • Instant Pot or comparable pressure cooker
  • Trivet or egg rack

Ingredients 

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Place water into the bottom of the inner bow of the pressure cooker
  • Place trivet inside the pressure cooker and the eggs on the trivet.
  • Close the lid, Set the pressure cooker so its set to build pressure (vent should be closed).
  • If you have an Instant Pot, choose manual or pressure cook, and set the time to 5 minutes on high pressure.
    On the Farberware, I would use the vegetable steam preset for 5 minutes.
  • Once the cook time is over, perform a quick release.
  • Remove eggs from the pressure cooker with a pair of tongs and place into a bowl of cold water.
  • Once cool enough to touch, you can begin peeling.
  • Proceed with making deviled eggs, egg salad, putting them in some other kind of salad, or just eating them.

Notes

If using jumbo eggs, cook for 7 minutes instead of 5.  Smaller eggs should be done in less time, probably 4 minutes.
