Instructions
Stovetop:
Add eggs to a saucepan large enough to fit as many eggs as you wish to cook.
Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a roiling boil.
Immediately remove the pan from heat, cover, and set a timer for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, immediately move the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Instant Pot
Add 1 cup of water to the bottom of the Instant Pot insert.
Place the rack that came with your Instant Pot, a
silicone egg tray
, or a
stacking egg rack
inside of the pot. Add as many eggs as you wish to cook.
Lock the lid, closing the steam vent. Pressure cook on manual on high for 5 minutes; allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 more minutes.
Release any remaining steam and remove the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
