We love hard boiled eggs, but I didn’t have any luck to make smooth and perfect hard boiled eggs over top stove method.

My husband amazed how soft and smooth hard boiled eggs are when I cook them in an instant pot. From now on, we only use instant pot to make our hard boiled eggs.

How to cook perfect hard boiled eggs using an instant pot?
First of all, in order to make perfect hard boiled eggs, using an instant pot pressure cooker is crucial. Secondly, timing is very important. If time is too short, egg yolk is running. On the other hand, when time is too long, egg white texture will be harder. Also, I have tried different time to cook hard boiled eggs. As the result, I like manual 2 minutes and natural release method because eggs are cook through, soft and smooth. Thirdly, put the eggs into an ice bath right after the natural release is done.
