Credit where it is due, but we think they're just as great for more basic healthy snacks, like these hardboiled eggs. With the Instant Pot on duty, it'll only take a handful of minutes to make perfectly cooked soft- or hard-boiled eggs. Better yet—the steam created by the cooker makes them more tender and super easy to peel. Ingredients 4 eggs Directions Pour 1 cup water into a 6-quart multicooker. Place wire rack insert in bottom of bowl. Arrange eggs in a single layer on the wire rack. Secure lid and close pressure valve. Select the "Pressure Cook" setting, adjust pressure to high, and set timer for 3 minutes for soft-cooked, 4 minutes for medium-cooked, or 5 minutes for hard-cooked. Once cycle is complete, quickly release the pressure valve. Carefully remove lid and, using a pair of tongs, immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 2 minutes. Peel and serve or store, unpeeled, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cook's Notes If you'd like to make more eggs than the recipe calls for, you can fit up to twelve eggs in a six-quart Instant Pot. Rate It PRINT
