Make fool-proof hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot with my tried-and-true 7-7-7 method. Using a pressure cooker is the best way to guarantee easy-to-peel eggs with the perfect texture every time!
Add the cold water, the wire trivet that came with your Instant Pot, and cold eggs to the pot.
1 cup (240mL) of cold water1, 12 large eggs2
Put on the lid and turn the lever to "sealing."
Press "manual" and adjust the cook time to 7 minutes.
When the Instant Pot beeps, the display will read "L 0:00." This is your "keep warm" setting and it will begin counting up.
After the InstantPot has warmed for 7 minutes, carefully move the knob to "venting." When most of the noise has stopped, remove the lid.
Using tongs, remove the eggs and place into a prepared ice bath for at least 7 minutes. After this point, you can stop and store your eggs or peel them immediately.
Notes
Cold water: be sure you are using cold water. Hot or even warm water will change the cooking time. This means you'll also need to start with a cold pressure cooker, so if you're using it for more than one batch, you'll want to let it cool completely before starting the next one.
Eggs: I find the best results with old eggs (at least 1 week post-purchase) as the membrane seems to separate better from the shell. If all you have are brand new eggs, be aware they could be a little more difficult to peel.
