How to Make Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

The simple 5-5-5 method for making perfect Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs. You’ll be amazed at how easily they peel, and how creamy and delicious they taste!

Why this Recipe is Best

If for no other reason, you’re going to want an Instant Pot just to make hard-boiled eggs. (don’t worry, I have over 90 Instant Pot Recipes on my site that I think you will love)!

While I love cooking instant pot meatloaf, and even cheesecake in the instant pot, it’s eggs that I make week after week.

I have always struggled to remove the peel on eggs. If you’re making egg salad, no big deal. But if you’re making deviled eggs, you want the whites to look pretty (and an easy-peel is a must).

Now that I have discovered how to make Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs.

I use the 5-5-5 method. It is not quicker than my traditional recipe, however, the ease at which the egg comes out of the shell is amazing.

5 minutes high-pressure cook
5 minutes natural release
5 minutes ice bath

I’ve tried all the tricks, from old eggs to ice baths, to put them in the oven (it’s a thing). Sometimes I’d get a couple in the batch that peel amazing, and then there is somewhere I remove half the white part just to get the shell off. But the 5-5-5 method is flawless.
