Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

It doesn't get easier than this to make Hard Boiled Eggs in your Instant Pot. These Hard Boiled Eggs come out perfectly every time!

It's never been easier to make Hard Boiled Eggs than in your Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker. I usually make mine using this tutorial on how to make perfect hard-boiled eggs, but now I will exclusively use my Instant Pot.

The method I prefer to cook my eggs is 5 minutes high pressure, quick pressure release after 5 minutes followed by a 5-minute ice bath. Commonly referred to as the 5-5-5 method.

I realize that not everyone likes their yolks the same way so you might want to experiment a bit. If you don't like the yolk using my method I would recommend increasing the cooking time in 1-minute increments until you find them to your liking.

If you do decide to increase the cooking time, I still recommend a quick pressure release after 5 minutes and a 5 minute ice bath afterwards.
