Yield: 12 Eggs
Cost: 5
Equipment
- 1 instapot with trivet
Materials
- 12 large eggs more can be fit if you have room, or use less. It doesn’t effect the recipe time.
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Place trivet inside of instapot (this helps prevent cracking of eggs!). Add 1 cup water.
- Let eggs come to room temperature if you have time (this prevents cracking). Add eggs to instapot.
- Add lid of instapot and place valve on “seal” manual set to 5 minutes of pressure cooking.
- Natural release for 5 minutes. While that’s in process, create an ice bath for the eggs. Quick release steam after 5 minutes- then add the eggs to ice bath.
- Set in ice bath for 5 minutes. Once done- peel and enjoy or store in refrigerator for another day!
Notes
If you have time, let the eggs come to room temp before adding to instapot. This prevents cracking.
You can use less than 12 eggs- cooking time and process will still be the exact same.
Leftover Storage:
un-peeled: good for up to 7 days in fridge
peeled: up to 7 days in fridge, BUT in an airtight container. Add a damp paper towel to avoid drying out.
