8 Quart Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
Hard Boiled Eggs cooked in the 8 quart instant pot are insanely easy to peel and keep for up to one week!
prep time: cook time: total time: 25 MIN
INGREDIENTS
1 cup water
6-8 eggs (or less)
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Pour one cup of water into the bottom of your 8 quart instant pot. Place the trivet into the instant pot and arrange the eggs in a single layer on top of the trivet.
2. Place the lid onto your instant pot and turn the steam valve to the sealing position.
3. Select the manual/pressure cook, high pressure setting and set the time to five minutes. After 10 seconds the display will say On. Once the instant pot is pressurized, the float valve will rise and the cook timer will begin counting down.
4. While the eggs are cooking, prepare the ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and ice.
5. At the end of the five minutes, carefully turn the steam release valve to the venting position. When the float valve drops, open the instant pot and carefully transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Leave the eggs in the ice bath for 10 minutes.
6. Remove the eggs from the ice bath and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. To peel, roll the eggs on a cutting board while applying gentle pressure to crack the shell. Peel off the shell and discard.

Great hard boiled eggs ,, I use this method and cook 45 that's right 45 medium eggs per batch. Just follow the recipe. it 's important when using the 8 quart pot and medium eggs to NOT use the 5 5 5 method use the method described above ,as soon as the 5 minute pressure cooker time is finish vent the steam release valve , and cool them down in the ice bath ASAP. . I make big batches of Pickled eggs and the time to cook and peal using this method is amazing and the eggs come out cooked but tender not rubbery at all ..Thanks for a great recipe.
ReplyDeleteI must have done something wrong. I have the 8 qt Duo. Cooked them for 5 minutes, quick released, then iced them for 10 minutes. They turned out as soft-boiled eggs which were perfect soft boiled eggs. I love them, my kids wanted to make deviled eggs. I've used the 5-5-5 method before and they turned out perfectly.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I followed the instructions but my eggs came out soft, runny/raw in the middle... I cooked at High Pressure 5 mins, quick released, then ice bath after. I'll try again next time with more minutes or maybe try the 5-5-5 method another commenter mentioned. I have an 8 quart pot.
ReplyDeleteI used the 5-5-5 method in my 8 quart pot with 2 cups water, because the pot instructions said to use 2 cups as the minimum and all of my eggs cracked!
