Directions

  1. Place a basket or wire trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot.
  2. Add one cup of water.
  3. Place as many or as few eggs as you want to cook in the Instant Pot, and put the lid on the cooker.
  4. For a soft-boiled egg, cook on high for four minutes. For a more hard-boiled egg, cook on pressuer cook high for five minutes.
  5. Let the steam release naturally, then move the eggs into ice-cold water.
  6. NOTE:
  7. The total time comes out to about 15 minutes (five minutes to pressurize, five minutes to cook, and five minutes to release the pressure), but that’s still faster than stovetop boiling, and you’ll get a lot more eggs cooked at once.
