Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs are super easy to make in the Instant Pot.
No more standing over the stove waiting for water to boil or watching eggs cook on the stove.
Have you tried cooking hard-boiled eggs in the Instant Pot, yet? It’s my new favorite way to cook hard-boiled eggs.
The eggs turned out perfectly whenever steamed under pressure in the Instant Pot.
Also, the eggs peel easily and only take minutes until done. I have a LUX 80 (8 quarts), and it takes exactly 5 minutes until my eggs are ready and perfect.
Honestly, I use to dislike cooking hard-boiled eggs on the stove-top. I would always forget about the eggs.
And, yes I have burnt hard boiled eggs on the stove more times then I would like to remember.
Don’t get me wrong I can cook but, just not hard-boiled eggs. Well, let me add rice to the list too.
How to Make Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
First of all, before you start your Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe place your Instant Pot in a safe area away from children.
Second, make sure to put the inner pot inside the Instant Pot. Third, place the wire rack that came with the Instant Pot inside the inner pot or use a steam basket.
Next, put eight eggs into the pot. I originally was going to cook a dozen eggs but, when I opened the carton four eggs were broken.
Fourth, pour one cup of water into the pot with the eggs.
Fifth, plug your Instant Pot into an electrical outlet. Next, place the lid on, lock it, and turn venting knob to sealing position.
Additionally, press the manual button and set for 5 minutes. When you hear the timer go off do a quick release by turning the knob to the venting position to release the steam.
Once the pressure valve has dropped down all the way, you can open the pot.
Additionally, my Instant Pot LUX 80 has an Instant Pot Egg setting.
I will explore that setting soon. Also, check out this stackable egg rack trivet that cooks up to 14 eggs at a time.
Lastly, carefully remove the eggs from the Instant Pot and place them into a bowl filled with ice water until they cool down.
Peel the eggs and enjoy. If you would like soft boiled Instant Pot eggs, you would adjust the time accordingly.
I prefer my eggs firm, especially when I use them to make egg salad or deviled eggs.
If you like your eggs firm cook for 7 minutes then do a quick release.
Wasn’t that easy? Check out my other Instant Pot recipes.
Hard Boiled eggs are perfect to use for making deviled eggs for birthday parties, to bring to potlucks, for the holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Easter.
And, of course for making deviled eggs to serve at Super Bowl parties.
Also, hard boiled eggs are great for making egg salad sandwiches, potato salad , and my crawfish pasta salad, which you could use shrimp instead of crawfish.

Criselle says
I didn’t know that you can boil eggs using instant pot. This is interesting!
Kisha Stewart-Harris says
All my friends now have an instant and rave about theirs, I guess I am just late to the game. Especially since I didn’t know you could make simple things like eggs in it. Thought it was just for foods with long cook times like beans and meat. Guess it’s time for me to get one and finally catch up.
Sara Welch says
I love how many possibilities there are with my Instant Pot! Thanks for sharing yet another fantastic feature of this miracle appliance!
Kim Seghers says

Sam says
My mom makes hard boiled eggs in her instant pot (along with nearly everything else) all the time. She loves how fast it boils and how good that they taste.
Kim Seghers says
Hi Sam! I need to get my mom an Instant Pot I bet she would love cooking everything in it like your mom does. So easy and less mess to clean up. Enjoy your weekend, Kim
kumamonjeng says
Love your video so much, look so simple and easy. I consume 4 eggs a day, hard boiled as I am into bodybuilding. I usually boiled them but sometimes I have forgotten to turn off the gas and it can be quite messy. Glad to learn there is an instant pot which would help me a lot. At least I don’t have to watch my fire.
Kim Seghers says
Thank you so much Kumamonjeng! Yes the instant pot is so much easier especially if you need to eat a lot of eggs daily. I have left the stove on too and burnt pots that’s the reason I love my Instant Pot. It has been worth the money I spent on it or should I say my husband spent on it since it was a surprise gift from him! Anyways let me know if you get one! Have a great weekend, Kim
