Ingredients

7 eggs
1 cup (250 ml) water

Instructions

Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the pot. Place a trivet, and the eggs and make sure that they're not touching the water.
Secure the lid and set the vent to SEALING. Select the PRESSURE COOK/MANUAL setting and set the cooking time for 5 minutes at high pressure. The Instant Pot will take around 6-7 minutes to come to pressure and start cooking. When the cooking program ends, allow the steam to be naturally released for 5 minutes, then release the rest of the steam manually.
Carefully open the lid, and using kitchen tongs place the eggs in a cold water bath for 5 minutes.
Remove the eggs from water, and they will peel easily and will be ready to be served.

Notes

Storing hard-boiled eggs

Unpeeled: You can store hard-cooked eggs in the fridge for up to one week if you leave them unpeeled.

Peeled: If they're peeled, then they can be stored in the fridge in a bowl of cold water to cover for about a week, but you have to change the water daily. Otherwise, place in an airtight container with a damp paper towel.
