Instant Pot 6-Minute Hard-Boiled Eggs

Another fun discovery today — 6 minute eggs in the Instant Pot/Crock-Pot Express!!
If you are like me and “resolutioning” to better health this new year, eggs are likely part of that new eating plan, whether it’s Weight Watchers, 21 Day Fix, or a plethora of others.
And I just can’t do scrambled eggs every day.

I do, however, love hard-boiled eggs — plain, in egg salad, on a lettuce salad, and the list goes on. Yet somehow in adulthood, I’d become an egg-peeling failure, often losing half the egg white stick into the shell as I attempt to peel the egg.

With the addition of the Crock-Pot Express to our home this Christmas, I knew it was time to pressure cook some eggs.
Ingredients:

• 1 c water
• Eggs (I used 4, but I think you could fit 8-9 in the pot in a single layer of you want to)

Instructions:

• Pour 1 cup of water in your pot
• Add the wire rack
• Place the raw eggs on the wire rack
• Close the lid and the rotate the steam valve to the closed position
• Set the device to “manual” or “beans” for 6 minutes. It will come up to pressure, then begin the 6 minute countdown 
• One the cook time is complete, the device will switch to “warm” automatically. Carefully do a QR (quick release) using a wooden spoon. Once the steam is out, turn the device off and open the lid. 
• Use silicone or plastic tipped tongs to remove the eggs, and place them in an ice bath for 5-10 minutes. 
• Peel easily! I added a video below of me peeling one of the eggs to show you how smoothly it slipped off. 

UPDATE: If you cook for only 3 min, do a QR for the steam, then put right into an ice bath, you should have a Soft-Boiled Egg for those who like a softer yolk.
