Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

[@lisaharding8537]

I own these racks. Love them. I recently heated up some pork for BBQ pork on the bottom of the Instant Pot. Put in the taller of the two racks over the pork set my streamer pan on top. Warmed the meat on the bottom and streamed vegetables at the same time worked great. Making eggs with the racks works great. On Sunday I make a weeks worth. They are always easy to peel! Enjoy your videos and your recipes.

[@carolynwomboldt7299]

First time in my 66 yrs. that I could successfully peel hard boiled eggs, without them having thousands of little pieces wedge under my nails and cause me to throw some out due to whites ripping off, etc...thank you for lowering my stress level...I bought one of those racks, too

[@juliac6891]

I cook 18-24 eggs with the trivet that comes with the IP and I just put all the eggs on top of each other. Never had a problem. I also cook 5 mins, NR for 4 mins and run them under cold water for a minute and peel them right away. I love how easy they peel!

[@judidunham5037]

Did you know if you use the steam feature instead of pressure you can do a quick release and cut your time in half? Works perfectly. 😘

[@lilyt5855]

I probably boil eggs more than anything else in the IP. I love it! I just put a dozen eggs in the trivet with a cup of water and pressure cook for three minutes, immediately quick release, and then transfer them to the cold water. I like my eggs somewhat softer in the middle, for those of you who prefer an egg with a slightly under cooked yolk.

[@Keesmom2]

Susan P just made eggs (first time in my Ultra!) with your technique and it came out perfect! I like the yolk to be slightly soft in the center. Thanks for sharing!

[@lilyt5855]

Beth Lee yay, I'm so glad it worked great for you!

[@Keesmom2]

Susan P thank you! Have a great day! 😊

[@kristinsmith545]

These came out PERFECT! not a single egg was damaged while peeling. That alone is reason enough to buy and instant pot!

[@cpulily]

I just recently or should finally open my instant pot I had it in my closet for a year. And I must say Thank You for your videos .you have made this an easy process for me I love all your videos and ideas on cooking . I just did the eggs and next will be the ham .I'm hooked on instant pot. Happy Chanukah .

[@katherineanderson8570]

Thanks Jeff. I have successfully used your method for hard boiled eggs in my IP. The eggs peel so easily and perfectly, but do at times seem overdone, so I have adjusted the time. I don't refrigerate my eggs, so they are room temperature, which could be why they cook a little faster. I only have a single rack and have stacked eggs on top of each other to get more in the pot.

[@gloriajohnson2499]

OMGosh! Just made the hard boiled eggs in the instant pot. Everything you promised. Thank you!

[@leepinnguin9682]

I bought the rack, love it! I cook with 1 & 1/2 cup water for 6 minutes. I don't wait when they are done, I do a quick release, but in an ice bath for 20 minutes, dry and put in a container in the refrigerator.

[@danmichaud580]

Well, I'm eggstatic about trying this. Good job.

[@Boodieman72]

I do STEAM for 6 min then a quick release and place them in cold water. They come out perfect from my Ultra.

[@marybuller8239]

Thank you! I just bought an Ultra, and I'm having trouble finding specific instructions for it. This is my first Instant Pot.

[@Boodieman72]

Same here, its my first IP as well.

[@carolynwomboldt7299]

I steamed mine in my Crock Pot slow /pressure cooker...similar to Instapot

[@anthonylinkus5449]

Jeff try putting yellow mustard in when mixing with the Mayo you can put as much as you can want or as little it gives be it a little kick

[@davidkline03]

I don't talk to people who don't use mustard in potato salad!

[@maureenr970]

My yolks were a bit dry cooking this long. I just made a new batch of 8 jumbo eggs, cooking for 3 minutes, 3 minutes natural release then put in ice water. I think next time I will try 3 minutes then quick release. I LOVE experimenting with my instant pot!

[@jamesrigdon9698]

Since getting my first instant pot, I will never boil another egg again! I love the way they turn out!

[@GretaBeth]

I usually put a pin prick in my eggs to let the sulfur escape. But I’ve always used my egg cooker, not my new IP Ultra.

[@LocalMan22]

I do six at a time in my duo, 7 min manual, Quick Release, Ice Bath -- I usually leave them in the ice bath until all the Ice melts. The advantage of 7 min and quick release is that I don't have to worry about Natural Pressure Release time, so I find it easier. I was doing the 5-5-5, but found that the eggs were overcooked.

[@Mary-jz9vr]

Awesome video!!! Thank you for to the point. I like my egg salad just like you. Got my Insta Pot last night. After I do the water test, it’s hard boiled eggs. 👏👍

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

I use my insta pot for hard boiled eggs and tea. Two important items to Southern people.

[@SuperDrLisa]

Tracie Smith how do you make tea?

[@TracieSmithpomeranian]

Lisa Mieth use six tea bags, fill your insta pot half full. Use a sweetener you usually use. Take a small pinch of baking soda to control the bitterness that tea can give of. Secure lid and let it go three minutes. Once the pot is done remove bags and pot from cooking element and let it cool before you put in to the fridge.

[@LeeCraftyHomestead]

the Yolks come out moist but not dry. so good. love them

[@luannemccallister9642]

Amazon JUST delivered my egg racks this morning, so I'm doing this this afternoon! This will only be my second time using the Instant Pot, just got it last week. My racks only hold 7 eggs each, but they cook so fast I can live with it. =)

[@SuperDrLisa]

Beautiful eggs, and peels so easily. Are your fingers healed yet, Jeff?

[@ChrisPBacone]

My mom had a stroke she lost 59 % motor body control sometimes I can't make lunch for her i m working Jeffrey thank you for you egg recipe she's able to peel and make agg salad for lunch

[@bobanpen1]

I set my instant pot to egg and it cooks them perfectly in 6 min with a quick release. And the peel easily

[@jraio747]

I just purchased the Instant Pot ULTRA. Love your videos. I fell back to this video to be sure I was doing it right! Thank You.

[@MultiMattman68]

I am so glad I watched this,especially knowing that its normal for the eggs to crack during the cooking process

[@jillpounds2219]

Jeffrey, thank you!! I just did eggs in the instant pot and they came out perfect! I wish I could post a picture. I'm so excited!😀

[@imageskincare7865]

omg my daughter and I are watching your videos and we LOVE LOVE LOVE you!

[@cynthiasivak5689]

The best part about doing my eggs this way is how easily they peel...no more shell clinging to the egg as I try to peel it.

[@sandysailer]

I love your videos. Thank you for being so thorough! I am an Instant Pot newbie!

[@kfstreich4787]

Thank you Jeff

[@pauleunterborn7923]

Great presentation!

[@CATHYZIE2000]

Have you tried the recipes for egg salad where you crack all the eggs in a cake pan lined with foil and lid to make a loaf-then just chop. No peeling!

[@ginasmith1598]

One of the many reasons I love my IP. Thank you for keeping me entertained 😁

[@asabagrendel]

Eggcellent video, Jeff! Love your sense of humor!!

[@authenticallyamber99]

Egg-cellent demonstration! 😂😂. Thank you for sharing! 😎

[@KayeCarterTV]

I love that rack. Thank you for sharing...going shopping now...lol Have a great week.💕👍🏼💕

[@MimiRedElk]

Can you post a video on either steaming or using pressure to cook artichokes.....PLS

[@risasklutteredkitchen1293]

I normally do 5-5-5. I can't wait to get these egg trivets.

[@ChrisPBacone]

And to this day I still ask you how do you store them to use in recipes

[@finehowareyou]

I just got my instant pot and i’m really excited about it. But how do you gauge cook times, to quick release or not to quick release, etc. those are the real questions. I’m genetically incapable of following a recipe, so I am watching videos to try to get the hang of it. Any general guidelines? Your videos are my favorites btw!!!!

[@michaelmacdonald334]

As a general rule, you use NPR (Natural Pressure Release) on meats. If you QR (Quick Release) on meats, they become tough and dry. Use QR for vegetables, and if you are going to add veggies to your main to cook towards the end of the main's cooking cycle. I also use NPR for my rice. I cook two to three cups of sushi rice for eight minutes, and use NPR for ten minutes. I rinse my rice two or three times first, and then soak for fifteen minutes in water (I learned that from Alton Brown's off of one of his Good Eats shows, 😊).

[@brianhrvey]

And no matter what I do, I still lose about 1/3 of the eff while peeling them. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong

[@susanjspaulding]

WOW!!! GREAT video!!! LOVE egg salad when it's hot!!! 100 at my house yesterday!!! :)

[@margaretlint3847]

If you are making egg salad or some dish where you are going to dice tbe egg and don't need them to hold a boiled egg shape just crack them into a shallow bowl before placing them in thd pressure cooker. When they are done you don't have to peel them at all! Just dice them and it couldn't be easier.

[@3bartboysplus]

I will try this!! If I take them out of the ice water and put them in the fridge without peeling them, will they still be easy to peel later?

[@kringles65]

Now my Easter will be eggcellent.

[@ramonebills9318]

What is the difference between submerging eggs in a pot of boiling water and this method? Would there be a difference in taste?

[@patfondren6013]

Could you have left the eggs and rack in the pot and add the water and ice to the pot?

[@bridgetsalter265]

Yep Jeff. ...6 min for me ,always perfict. As ever great great tips thank you 👍👌

[@bebebutterfield1]

yummy. I made egg salad sammies and split pea soup for dinner last night.

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

My family's favorite combo is egg salad sands w/tomato soup 😋

[@steveking4032]

Hey Jeff how’s it going? Always enjoy your Instant Pot videos 👍 Pls, I think I missed where to get get the egg stackers you use?? Which brand ? Thanks 😊

[@jeffanthony5434]

Would like to see you do a pickled egg recipe now 😉

[@Rehdman6444]

jeff anthony : I agree.

[@jodybogdanovich4333]

When I finish off a jar of pickles, I throw peeled boiled eggs into the jar with the pickle juice and let them steep in fridge for a couple days or more. Works great using pickled beet juice as well. I love to repurpose things LOL

[@Stephlovesnapping]

What an EGG-cellent video. 😁😊

[@CodeDeb]

LITERALLY celery in egg salad is a CRIME

[@CodeDeb]

I still stand by this

[@dkyelak]

What about having a hole in the egg for releasing steam to avoid cracking?

[@songoten7600I]

Love your videos, I'd love to see you make "DIRTY RICE" Cajun style

[@Jerry-rf8bn]

Can I use eggs straight out of the refrigerator or, should I let the eggs warm up to room temperature before cooking them? Thank you.

[@davidkline03]

Ive made deviled eggs using eggs straight out the fridge, i don't think it matters, they came out fine.

[@Jerry-rf8bn]

@@davidkline03 Thank you.

[@davidkline03]

NP

[@patriciaribaric3409]

What if after the're cooked you leave them in the fridge for a week with the shell on; do the shells still peel easy?

[@fzdolfan]

What kind of adjustment is needed for extra large eggs? Every recipe I follow (for large) yields undercooked yolks in XL eggs.

[@denisemcdermott3055]

First time trying eggs. Used the egg holder and added 7 eggs. High pressure and 1C water. Set for 5 min but the pot went to burn-and the 5 min countdown never happened just said ON. What’s the middle step I’m missing, please

[@acompanyalf]

I cooked the eggs for 4 min pressure and natural release, why did the yoke turn black?

[@TiborBosnyak]

Got em!

[@teresa2334]

I've done this twice, and every time a couple eggs crack, and some turn brown inside? I do 5 min pressure, 5 minute rest and then put in water. Just curious why this keeps happened?

[@anonymousanonymous8544]

Why don't you put a whole at the bottom of the eggs? That way they don't crack. I do that when I use a normal egg cooker.

[@kimarnette9318]

Tongs Jeffrey!

[@gosman949]

Amazon is out of the racks and have no idea when they will have more!

[@UsernameJackie]

Question...LOVE, All, Your Videos!!! Just, Getting, Started, And, My, Question, Is.....Say, I'm, Only Doing, 6 Eggs, @ a Time.....Do, I, Need to make any Changes, in, My Cooking Time....???? "Thanks", So, Much!!!! Jim-

[@Starbucksgurl21]

Jim H I’m wondering the same thing. Did you ever get an answer to this?

[@judidunham5037]

No. Cooking times depend on the size/thickness of the food, not the quantity/amount of food. I do six minutes on steam function, quick release, ice bath...no matter how many eggs I cook. Comes out perfect every time.

My eggs turned out yellow brown where they should have been white! Did I over cook?

[@kohanap4966]

Why do u not use the egg button?

[@deborahwitherly2889]

I did 5 eggs with the 5 minute method and they were literally raw. Any idea what I could have done wrong?

[@Rehdman6444]

Deborah Witherly: If your Instant Pot is getting up to temperature, check the silicone sealing gasket in the pot lid. It may be cracked, dirty, or improperly installed.

[@bhsx]

You missed the mark. At 4:28 you can see the gray. You're close, so I'm not trying to say this was all bad; but gray don't cut it.

[@janepoultney5207]

Bobby Fuesz Really? I'm not seeing it. Not even when I freeze frame.

[@cristinedavis1]

Hi there. This might seem stupid, but I’ve tried to follow this twice & both times I’ve done 12 eggs on 5 minutes. It starts to beep & says “burn” both times. I stopped the cooking & the eggs are runny in the middle. Any tips on what I’m doing wrong?

[@michaelmacdonald334]

If you are adding the one cup of water, then I'd say you have a seal issue. Take it out, wash it and the lid once or twice each, and then try again. If you have an eight quart IP, you might need more water... I'm not entirely sure about the minimum requirements of liquid in an eight quart, I just own a three quart and a couple six quarts.

[@bobbyvo521]

Can i boil eggs without any trivet?

[@davidkline03]

What's wrong with the eggs sitting on top of each other?

[@brandijonason2983]

Store eggs point side down and cook same way.

[@mn1170]

I still had a liquidy yolk in one of my eggs. I never get it right

[@Smootus]

I’ve stacked 24 on top of each other... but this looks easier

[@Nozoki]

I piled 36 eggs into my 8 quart last Easter. They came out fine.

[@magua1368]

So did I !

[@waynethebarber1095]

I have tried it so many times and only one has turned out. Done the 555 666 545, and more. Still over cooked....

[@cherylwooden4327]

Does anyone know where to purchase this egg rack ?

[@carolinebeck807]

I didn't want the top rack to stand on the bottom rack so I ordered this set. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075R3KBP2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@dkyelak]

The 666 method! I am trying this now. It seems more rebellious than the 555 method for some strange reason.

[@TheDigihax]

12 dislikes do they think you did something wrong maybe or just trolls I wonder lol...

[@michaeldickens2472]

I do 24 large at a time no problem just stayed on the trivet provided go figure

That's great, Jeff. But can you direct us to another website for kitchenware? I'm trying to avoid Amazon. In 2017, I helped Jeff Bezos add another $35.1 billion to his net worth, making him worth roughly $132 billion in total. But his employees are struggling to make ends meet. It's a shanda! A SHANDA!

[@jessepaul9153]

Fooey. I've tried every trick on youtube on how to boil and peel eggs without tearing them up. But I notice virtually every video is using brown eggs. I never tried. and only use store bought white eggs which the shells are micro thin. Only success I've had is to let the eggs keep a couple weeks in the fridge. My neighbors give me fresh duck eggs. The shells are twice as thick and peel easily. I'm still awaiting a successful trick on how to boil and peel fresh store bought white eggs.

[@wendystumbaugh695]

jesse paul I only use store bought white eggs. This method is the best!
