    One of the most common pressure cooker recipes around is for Hard Boiled Eggs.  I’ll be honest with you, cooking hard boiled eggs just doesn’t seem like it could get any easier than cooking them on the stove.  Why is everyone going crazy for pressure cooker hard boiled eggs?  

    Hard boiled eggs

    I needed to find out for myself.  With so many options for cook times, I thought I’d start out with the most common one.  5-5-5.  What the heck does that mean?  Cook on high pressure for 5 minutes, natural release for 5 minutes and then cool in an ice bath for 5 minutes.  Seems easy enough!

    I decided to give it a go.  And, let me tell you….I was pleasantly surprised!  The time to cook the eggs didn’t seem much different than on the stove,  But, and this is a HUGE BUT!  The eggs peeled like I’ve never seen before!  OMG!  The shell literally just slid right off.  This, in itself is why you should be pressure cooking your hard boiled eggs.  Game changer!!

      I tried 2 eggs for a trial run and they turned out perfect! The next day I cooked the other 10 eggs and quite a few of them cracked and 3 completely โ€œblew outโ€. Any idea what went wrong?

      Thanks and love your Ninja Foodie recipes

      Thank you for the tip that the number of eggs, less or more, doesn’t change the time or amount of water. Good to know.

      When I make potato salad, I always put 4-6 clean, washed eggs on top of my potatoes in the Instant Pot (IP) and cook for 3 minutes and QR and they come out perfect everytime as well. BTW, you do your potatoes in the IP and you will have the most delicious potato salad ever. The potatoes taste soooo much better in the IP.

      Just tried out this recipe and worked liked a charm! Only used 4 eggs and the cook time was just right. I forgot to do the timed release but still worked out fine. I was very surprised how easily the shells peeled off.

        Hi, I have to give 5 stars for the method – easiest ever!! No watching a pot to boil, easy clean-up, and I have the egg racks that make it so easy to stack 14 eggs. And, best of all, no sticking shells! I might have deducted 1 star because although 2 of my 6 eggs came out perfectly, the other 4 had the green/grey tinge around the yolk! Could it be because I peeled and ate those perfect 2 right after the 5 minute ice water bath, while I removed the other 4 from the ice bath, left them in their shells, and put in the fridge?? It was weird that the first two were perfect and the others had the discoloration. They were all from the same carton. Anyway, Iโ€™ll try again and knock the pressure time down to 4 minutes as suggested.
