Equipment

  • 1 Pressure Cooker 8 quart
  • 1 8 quart strainer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 dozen eggs

Instructions
 

  • Prepare an ice bath large enough to immerse your strainer full of eggs.
  • Fill the 8 quart instant pot with one cup of water.
  • Insert the strainer into the pot and add up to a dozen eggs. If your eggs are too large, you may need to use less.
  • Using the manual function, set the instant pot to pressure cook for 3 minutes, and then hit "start."
  • When done pressure cooking, immediately release the pressure.
  • When the lid is able to turn, remove the strainer full of eggs from the instant pot, and plunge it into the ice bath.
  • Let the eggs rest in the ice bath for 10 minutes. Then remove.
  • Wipe eggs and refrigerate them in a container. Or, peel the eggs to eat immediately.

Notes

These hard-boiled eggs are semi soft in the center and should not produce any green around the yolk.
