Preparation
Step 1
Place wire rack (that comes with instant pot) in the bowl of the instant pot. Add 1 cup water. Arrange 2-12 eggs on the rack (so they aren't touching the water or bowl).
Step 2
Secure the lid and set lever to "sealing" position. Cook on manual "high pressure" and set timer for desired doneness (5 min for soft boiled, 6-8 min for medium, 9-10 minutes for hard boiled eggs). Once instant pot reaches high pressure (which takes 5-6 minutes), your set timer will automatically start counting down.
Step 3
As soon as your timer is up, use a hot mitt to switch the lever to "venting" position (a hot burst of steam will release). When pressure is fully released and pressure indicator has dropped, remove lid and use tongs to transfer hot eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes before peeling.

Chef's notes
Timings below are for large eggs. For medium eggs, reduce cook time by 1 minute and increase by 1 minute for extra large eggs.
Start with refrigerated eggs.
It’s ok to stack eggs on the rack, but eggs should not touch the water or walls of the instant pot.
Transfer cooked eggs to a bowl of ice water right away to prevent overcooking.
We use a 6 Qt 7-in-1 Instant Pot Duo. You may need to experiment timings using a smaller or larger pressure cooker.
