The Best Instant Pot Eggs

Say yes to the best Instant Pot eggs, hard boiled eggs made in a jiffy. No more greyish-green yolks, no more cracked or lopsided eggs. The Instant Pot makes perfect hard boiled eggs and since I use my blog to record recipes I am afraid I will forget, I have to share this with you.

My family was at a friend’s house for brunch recently and my friend had an Instant Pot tucked away in a corner because she didn’t know how to use it. Another friend offered to show her how to use it by making hard boiled eggs and the Instant Pot eggs turned out great.

I tried our friend’s step by step instructions at home and the eggs were so perfect, I love making hard boiled eggs in my Instant Pot (affiliate link). None of the eggs are cracked and the shells slip right off. The egg yolks are perfectly yellow, cooked through, without turning gray or green.

My kids aren’t into hard boiled eggs but I make it for busy days when I am on the go all day and need a hearty breakfast or a portable snack. I put the eggs into the Instant Pot when I wake up, get dressed, and the instant pot eggs are ready for an ice bath by the time I’m back in the kitchen. They are ready for making deviled eggs because the egg shells are easy to peel and the yolk is perfectly centered. I also have a thing for curried deviled eggs. Best of all, I can make one of my favorite Chinese snacks, Tea Eggs.

Instant Pot Love

If you don’t have an Instant Pot (affiliate link), you need to know that it’s the solution to the problem of making many healthy and delicious meals for your family quickly. You can read my full review in my recipe for chicken teriyaki thighs. I love making carrot soup in a fraction of the time.

I had heard about the Instant Pot from friends and I’m so grateful they kept telling me about it. My aunts stop by when I happen to be using it and I show them how to use it, what I’m making, etc.. They asked me to order additional Instant Pots for them when they go on sale (usually on Amazon Prime Day in July or Black Friday). I learned how to make hard boiled eggs from one friend showing another friend. If you try making hard boiled eggs in your Instant Pot and love it, share this post with a friend.

From the time I started this post until the time I actually finished, I actually forgot the timing for the recipe, forgot that I already started this post, and had to guess. So here’s the best instant pot egg recipe for your sake as well as mine! 😉
