Making Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs is a breeze. So much easier than trying to figure out how long to boil them in a pot of water and even easier than the oven method that I used for several years. It’s easy to remember because it’s 5 minutes at high pressure, 5 minutes of natural pressure release, and lastly 5 minutes in a cool ice bath (555). I can’t take credit for coming up with this method, it’s posted on the Instant Pot Community Page along with so many other wonderful recipes for the Instant Pot. If you aren’t already a member of the page, you should consider it, it’s been a great help and inspiration to me.
