Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs have become a staple in my house due to the ease of preparing and peeling.  It’s a great way to batch your morning snack as you can cook two dozen at a time.

We love using the Instant Pot to make our lives easier.  Try Instant Pot Baked Potatoes or our Cheesy Garlic Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes Recipe.

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

I used to dread making hard boiled eggs.  The time it took bring them to a boil, having to worry about letting them overcook and most of all having to peel the shell when I didn’t get them just right!  But now I eliminate all of that and get perfect hard boiled eggs that are delicious and slide right out of the shell every time.

 

How Many Eggs Can You Hard Boil in an Instant Pot?

You can cook anywhere from one egg to two dozen eggs in the instant pot.  There is no adjustment with the time depending on the number of eggs.  You can adjust the time to four minutes if you prefer soft boiled eggs.  I like to do two dozen at a time and grab them in the morning or for a snack throughout the day.  My kids love them and they never last too long in my house.

Eggs in Instant Pot

How do I use the egg setting on my Instant Pot?

Not every Instant Pot has the egg setting.  If yours does, you can press the Egg button on the Instant Pot. It will pressure cook the pot for five minutes.  If you want soft-boiled eggs,  reduce the cook time to four minutes after you have pressed the egg button.  Once the cook time is over,  flip the steam release valve to venting and allow the steam to escape.  Keep in mind that it will take 5-10 minutes to warm up before the cooking session begins.

 

How Long do Peeled Eggs Last in the Fridge?

Whether they are peeled or not, hard-boiled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.  Keep them stored in the refrigerator and it’s never a bad idea to write the date on the carton so you know when the week started.

Ingredients

  • Eggs - one egg to two dozen your preference
  • 1 cup of water

Instructions

  • Plug in your Instant Pot and place the trivet in the bottom of the pot.
  • Pour in one cup of water and add desired number of eggs onto the trivet.  It is perfectly ok to stack the eggs if you run out of surface room on your trivet.
  • Secure the lid to the base and making sure to lock the lid in place.  Close the pressure relief valve.  Press the pressure cook button and adjust the timer to 5 minutes for hard boiled and 4 minutes for soft boiled eggs.
  • It will take a few minutes for the Instant Pot to build pressure, but after the five minutes of cooking time has elapsed, quickly move the pressure valve to release, allowing the steam to exit.
  • Once the pressure has released to normal, carefully remove the lid and place the eggs into ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • After a 3-5 minutes in the ice water, crack the eggs and remove the shell allowing the egg to slide out.
  • Enjoy!

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
