5-5-5 Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
I highly recommend using the steamer/strainer basket instead of the trivet; it simplifies things a little
6 to 12 eggs
Add 1 C. water to a pressure cooker. Place a steamer basket or trivet inside and arrange the eggs carefully on top, making sure none are leaning against the side of the cooker. Place the lid on the cooker and make sure the pressure knob is in the SEALING position. Using the display panel, select the STEAM function, high pressure, and use the +/- buttons until the display reads 5 minutes. While the eggs cook, fill a bowl with ice cubes and water. When the cooker beeps to let you know it’s finished, let it come down naturally from pressure until the display reads LO:5. Switch the pressure knob from the SEALING to the VENTING position. Use caution while the steam escapes—it’s hot. Remove the lid and immediately remove the eggs, placing them one at a time into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let sit for 5 minutes before peeling.
