Now the process of boiling eggs the standard way is not hard. Add eggs and water to a pot, boil, cover, done. But, trust me. Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs are even easier. And you can make SO many at a time. Go ahead and pile them up! But the true reason I prefer using my Instant Pot? They are sooooo much easier to peel. And let's be real peeling the eggs is the real deterrent.

Now that the peeling process is easier, think about all the uses for the instant pot hard boiled eggs.

Instant Pot Hard Boiled Egg Uses:

• Easy on the go breakfast or snack
• Deviled eggs (a holiday STAPLE)
• Egg Salad
• Cobb Salad (with extra bacon, please!)
  • On that note, all the salads are awesome with hard boiled eggs

• Potato Salad
• And the ideas continue!

The process for making hard boiled eggs in your instant pot is silly easy! Start with the trivet in your instant pot. Next, add water to your liner. Then add in your eggs. You can make as many or as little as you'd like! Feel free to pile them up, just don't fill your pot more than ⅔ full. That's a lot of eggs :).

Once the pressure is released, immediately add the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool off and stop the cooking. When cooled, peel away! It won't take too long. Then store in the fridge until you're ready to eat or use in a recipe. Peeled or unpeeled, hard boiled eggs keep for up to one week in the fridge
