Notes

Large eggs: I use large eggs. If you are using a different size, the timing may vary.
Quantity: I can fit 8 eggs in my Instant Pot rack without touching, and that’s usually as many as I need. You can certainly do fewer.
Rack: The rack that comes with your Instant Pot is perfect to use for making eggs. You don’t need to buy anything special for this.
Water bath: Fill a bowl with cold water (and/or add some ice cubes to it) before the eggs are finished, or while are you doing the quick release. The eggs need to be transferred to the water bath to stop the cooking.
Peeling: As mentioned, eggs made in the Instant Pot are incredibly easy to peel! However, if you are storing them, leave the shells on.
How to store hard boiled eggs: Hard boiled eggs are best stored unpeeled, with the shell still on. Store the eggs, in the shell, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Once peeled, any extra unused eggs will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
You can keep peeled hard boiled eggs in a bowl of cold water, changing it daily, to prolong their freshness; they’ll keep for up to 5-7 days this way. They will also last up to 5-7 days if you keep them wrapped in a damp paper towel and placed in a sealed container.
