Instant Pot: Boiled Eggs

If you dislike boiling eggs for potato salad, eggs salad, deviled eggs, or just for breakfast, an Instant Pot will be your best friend.  I have used mine many times for boiling a dozen eggs for deviled eggs and was very impressed with the ease of peeling.

Today I had to cook a lot of eggs for deviled eggs.  A LOT of eggs.  Like 50.  I wondered just how many eggs can an Instant Pot handle at one time?  Did I dare to try to cook all 50 of them at one time?

Why not?

So here's what I did.

Place the trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot.  Add 1 1/2 cups of water.  Place eggs carefully into the pot.  Put on the lid and make sure the steam vent is set to closed.

Plug in the Instant Pot and set Pressure Level to Low and the timer to 5 minutes.  Walk away.  😊

It will take a little time for the pressure to build and cooking to begin.  But when the timer sounds after the 5 minutes of cooking, quick release the steam and carefully remove the lid.

Using potholders, carefully remove the inner pot and place it in the sink.  Run cold water up to the top and then drain.  Refill with ice and water.  Let eggs rest in the ice water for several minutes and then drain.

You will be amazed by how easy the eggs will be to peel.  They will literally slip right off the eggs.  

If you like a softer boiled egg, reduce the cooking time by a minute or two.  You'll need to test a batch or two to determine what your "sweet spot" is time-wise to get the eggs cooked exactly like you prefer.
