Put one cup of water into the instant pot. Then, put a rack into the pot.
Next, put 12 eggs on the rack. After, cover the lid and close the vent. Push the manual button, adjust time to 2 minutes at high pressure. Then, natural release pressure (usually 8-10 minutes).
In a bowl, put 2 cups of ice and 4 cups of water. When the eggs are done, put them into the ice bath for a couple minutes or until the ice melts.
After that, peel off the egg shells.

In order to make perfect hard boiled eggs, using an instant pot pressure cooker is crucial.
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 times to cook hard boiled eggs. As a result, I like manual 2 minutes and natural release methods because eggs are cooked through, soft and smooth.
Put eggs into an ice bath right after the natural release is done. Then, let the eggs soak in the ice water for a couple minutes before peeling them. This helps the egg and membrane separate, so the shell comes off easily and has smooth and perfect eggs.
