Making the perfect hard-boiled egg isn’t as easy as it may seem. Sure there are only two ingredients, eggs and water, but the simplicity ends there. Water temperature, the temperature of the eggs, boiling time and how long the eggs sit in the water will all affect the end result. If you don’t want eggs that are too dry or undercooked, then you need to make your eggs in the instant pot. They will be perfect every time and, thanks to the Instant Pot®, they will be incredibly easy. So grab your eggs, your metal Instant Pot® rack, and get ready for some perfect eggs!

- Remove the eggs from he Instant Pot® and place directly into a small bowl of ice water. Let the eggs sit in the water for 5 minutes to cool and stop the cooking process.
- Store the bard boiled eggs in the fridge, peeled or unpeeled (I like to peel mine before putting them in the fridge as I have found it is easier).
