How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot

Using this simple 6-6-6 method you can make hard boiled eggs in the instant pot with no fuss at all! These peel better than any other method I've tried.

Today’s Success: Hard Boiled Eggs in the Instant Pot!  Woot Woot!  Did you buy one of these on Prime Day?  I did, and I wasn’t even sure what I would use it for, but I thought at least it would have good resale if I didn’t end up using it.  I know that’s terrible thinking, just being honest.

Now that I’ve used it a few times and I can tell you this baby isn’t going anywhere!

I’ve even made a special spot for it on my small appliance shelves.

Yes, I have a whole area of my home dedicated to small appliances.  You see it was supposed to be an art supplies center, but has been taken over after some inspiration from an episode of The Pioneer Woman.  I love that lady!

Here are 6 things you need to know about making the perfect hard boiled eggs in the Instant Pot:

  • Use the rack the pot came with, put 1 cup of water in the bottom of the pot, then add the eggs (I used 14).
  • The Steam Release should be set to SEALING.
  • Use High Pressure
  • Press Manual and + or – to 6 minutes.
  • Let the steam release on its own for about 6 more minutes.
  • Release all the pressure, pop the lid off (carefully), and put the eggs in ice and water for another 6 minutes.

These eggs will peel like a dream!  Honest!

*Note:  The 6 minutes of cooking time will start after the pot reaches full pressure.

Credit: I read several different recipes, and watched YouTube videos about how to make hard-boiled eggs in the Instant Pot before deciding on how I’d make mine.  They each were helpful in their own way, but I needed something easier to remember, and only a few directions so I didn’t get lost.  I’ve come up with what works for me and after realizing how easy these were and how perfectly they peeled I wanted to share the idea with you too!

Hey Friend! I am truly so glad that you’re here today!

At A Slightly Better Wife, I share about faith, homemaking, homeschooling, and marriage—along with my passion for creating a non-toxic, intentional home. Life isn’t about perfection, but I believe in making small, meaningful choices each day to do things slightly better than before.

My love for simple living and homemaking was deeply shaped by my grandparents. I have the best childhood memories of being in the kitchen with my Grandma Edna, learning the beauty of home-cooked meals and a well-tended home. My Grandpa Link’s storytelling and wisdom instilled in me the value of faith, family, and slowing down to listen during the little moments that make life rich. Their influence is woven into who I am today and I’m so grateful for that.

I’m a wife, a momma of 5, and a homemaker at heart. My husband and I met young, just days after my 18th birthday, and we quickly (like within a week) knew that forever was in our plans.

Together, we built our home on the edge of town, where we’re raising and homeschooling our children while embracing a simple, purposeful life in the city.

Here, you’ll find encouragement for your marriage, practical tips for homemaking, and inspiration to cultivate a home filled with faith and love. Whether you’re looking for a recipe, a fresh perspective, or just a place to feel understood, I hope you’ll stay awhile and explore.

Let’s pursue slightly better together!
