hard-boiled eggs in the instapot!

my first instant pot post has to be hard-boiled eggs because it is literally the easiest thing to do. also, I do it every week for Eugene so I've made dozens of these. It is so, so easy. 

All you need is your IP, a steamer basket, eggs (up to 1 dozen or however many will fit in a single row), 1 cup of water, and 10 minutes (give or take).

Water goes in, steamer basket sits inside with legs down so that none of the eggs are touching the water, the eggs sit in a single layer (I have done up to 12 at a time) and the lid goes on.

5 minutes on manual y'all. I say 10 minutes give or take because it takes a few minutes to build pressure and a few minutes to release pressure at the end. After the eggs are done cookin', give them an ice bath and let them rest for a few minutes. 

The best part about making it in the IP (besides the fact that its wicked fast and easy!) is that it peels SO easy. Who else dreads cracking eggs? For some reason, eggshells have something against me because it always has to peel in at least 30 pieces. Not anymore! IP for the win! 

Hard-Boiled Eggs in the InstaPot (Instant Pot recipe)

Makes 2-12 eggs
Total time: 10 minutes         Cook time in IP: 5 minutes (on Manual)

Ingredients

Eggs (however many you want!)

1 cup water

1. Place one cup of water inside pot

2. Place steamer tray inside with legs down, place eggs in a single layer.

3. Press "Manual", set the time to 5 minutes, press manual again. The screen may show "ON" until the pressure has built up inside, then the timer will start counting down.

4. Ensure that the valve is on "Sealing"

5. After cooking, QR (Quick Release) the pressure by changing the valve position from "Sealing" to "Venting" but be careful not to burn yourself! (I do it with the back of a spatula, etc)

6. After pot has fully depressurized and lid is unlocked, place cooked eggs carefully into a bowl of ice water. I use tongs!

7. Once eggs have cooled, peel as needed. I keep unpeeled, hard boiled eggs in the fridge to peel before serving! They last up to 1 week in the fridge as long as they are not peeled.

What did I tell you. SO EASY!
