Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

The Instant Pot electric pressure cooker has become my FAVORITE, easy way to make perfect hard boiled eggs. It’s really a method of steaming rather than boiling, and if you’ve tried my old trusty steaming method for the perfect hard boiled eggs, you can imagine how amazing this method is! Eat them as a snack or make these easy deviled eggs! Once you’ve done it in the  Instant Pot you’ll never look back at another method ever.

Why the Instant Pot is the Best Method to Cook Eggs

All you do is place them in, add your water, close the lid and let steam! Then transfer to an ice bath and peel! So simple, and peels PERFECTLY every time. A total game changer. I just love my Instant Pot!!
