How to Make Hardboiled Eggs in an Instant Pot

* 1 dozen large eggs

* 1 cup cold water

Instructions:

1. Place the eggs in the Instant Pot. Make sure the eggs are in a single layer.

2. Add the water. Pour 1 cup of cold water into the Instant Pot.

3. Close the lid and lock it in place. Ensure the steam release valve is closed.

4. Set the Instant Pot to "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" mode. Set the pressure to "High" and set the cooking time for 5 minutes.

5. Let the pressure release naturally. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.

6. Quick release the remaining pressure. After 10 minutes, you can quick release the remaining pressure by carefully turning the steam release valve to "Venting."

7. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath. Immediately place the eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.

8. Let the eggs cool for at least 5 minutes. Allow the eggs to cool in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes before peeling and eating.

Tips:

- For soft-boiled eggs, set the cooking time for 3 minutes instead of 5.

- For hard-boiled eggs with a soft center, set the cooking time for 6 minutes instead of 5.

- For hard-boiled eggs with a firmer center, set the cooking time for 8 minutes instead of 5.

- If you do not have an Instant Pot, you can hard-boil eggs on the stovetop. Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil, then turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12-15 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.

- Hard-boiled eggs are a versatile food that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They make a great snack, addition to salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. They are also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
