    I made boiled (well, steamed) eggs in my instant pot and they came out perfect…

    Put eggs on trivet. Add 1c water. Lid on, sealed. 5 minutes high pressure. 5 minutes off and sealed. 1 minute venting. 5+ minutes ice bath.

    The ice bath is the critical part.

    The shells slide off.

      I do mine on the stove.

      No special prep, just in a pot with a steaming trivet or basket with water up to the basket, eggs in for exactly 10 minutes with a lid on, then immediately transfer over to ice cold water.

        60 eggs all at once, or 5 batches of a dozen each?

        As I understand it, you should be able to pile the eggs on in there, they shouldn’t move like they would in a full rolling boil.

        But at the same time, I had been warned not to put all of my eggs together.
