Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs - carolyn's dish recipe by Carolyn Cohen

Ingredients

  • 4-20 eggs (it is ok if they overlap)
  • 1 cup of water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the steamer basket in the liner of the pot, add the water, place the eggs on top.

  2. 2

    Close the lid, turn the valve to “sealing”, I know that is obvious, but I have been known to forget that!

  3. 3

    Turn the pot on “manual” high pressure for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Once the time is up, “Quick Release” the pressure, open the lid, run cold water over the eggs, add some ice cubes, let them rest until they are cool, peel and enjoy!

  5. 5

    Note: some people say that if you add some salt to the water they will be easier to peel.  I am on the fence.
