How to Hard Boil Eggs in an Instant Pot
Traditionally, hard-boiled eggs are made by boiling them in a pot of water on the stove, but the Instant pot gently steams them until they are absolutely perfect!
- Add water to the bottom of the Instant pot. Place 13 eggs (aka a “baker’s dozen”) in the bottom in a single layer (or an optional rack or trivet) (as directed in the recipe below).
- Seal and cook on manual pressure for 5 minutes and allow for a natural release of pressure, then a manual release.
- Remove the eggs and plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

Soft and Medium Eggs

Perfect Eggs Every Time
- A 6-quart Instant Pot holds about 13 eggs, but adjust the amount to fit the size of the individual model.
- Be aware that the water won’t cover the eggs, it should come up only about halfway. Once cooked, carefully transfer the eggs into a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking, and also makes them easier to peel.
- The actual cooking time is only 5 minutes, but the Instant Pot takes time to come to that pressure. So keep that in mind when planning to use this recipe.
- Keep hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to one week.
