Ingredients

1 - 1 ½ cup of cold water
9 eggs large

Instructions

Place your metal trivet that should have come with your Instant Pot in the bottom of the pot. You can also use a metal egg rack, which will help you cook more eggs at once.
Pour your water into the pot. If you’re using a 6 quart pot, use 1 cup, and if you’re using an 8 quart pot, use 1 ½. The trick is to use cold tap or refrigerated water, as room-temperature or warm water will come to pressure quicker and may alter your cooking time.
1 - 1 ½ cup of cold water
Place eggs in a single layer on the rack in the pot.
9 eggs
Put the lid on, making sure the pressure release valve is closed, and set your Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 6 minutes for hard boiled eggs, 5 minutes for jammy centers, 4 minutes for less jammy centers, or 3 minutes for runny yolk and just barely set whites. Once you set your Instant Pot, it will take a few minutes to build pressure; then your timer will begin.
Once the timer has finished, use a long-handled spoon to quickly release the pressure by opening the vent. After the pressure is released, remove the eggs and immediately place them in an ice bath for about 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Crack and peel your eggs and enjoy!
