Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • For slightly jammy yolks, reduce the cook time to 3 minutes. For extra-firm yolks, increase to 5 minutes.
  • Use eggs that are at least a week old. Fresher eggs have a membrane that clings tightly to the shell, making them harder to peel.

Method
 

  1. Place the wire trivet in the Instant Pot and pour in the water. 2. Gently arrange the eggs on the trivet in a single layer. 3. Secure the lid, set the steam valve to 'Sealing,' and cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes. 4.
  2. When the timer beeps, perform a quick pressure release. Carefully open the lid. 5. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before peeling.
  3. Don't skip the ice bath. This crucial step stops the cooking process and makes the shells incredibly easy to remove.
