Instructions

  • Place the trivet that came with your instant pot inside the pot.

  • Add 1 cup of water.
  • Close the lid. Set the vent to close.
  • Pressure cook high temperature for 4 minutes. Quick release the pressure.
  • Carefully take your eggs out of the pot. Place them into a bowl with ice cubes and water. Let them sit in the icebox for about 5 minutes. This will help make your eggs easy to peel.

Notes

I have an Instant Pot Max. So I do not have to manually vent the pressure. It does it for me.
You can have 4 eggs or 12, but the time will be the same. 
Before placing your eggs onto the trivet, make sure there are no fractures in the eggs. This will result in cracked shells when you open your instant pot after cooking.
