put one cup of water into the instant pot. Then, put a rack into the pot.
Next, put eggs on the rack. After, cover the lid and close the vent. Push manual button and adjust time to 2 minutes. Then, natural release.
After that, put all the eggs into a bowl with ice water and wait a couple minute before peeling.

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 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.
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 minuet before peeling them. This helps the egg and membrane separate, so the shell comes off easily and have smooth and perfect eggs.
