Step 1

Pour the 2 cups of water into the insert of the Instant Pot. (Note: Do measure 2 cups as opposed to using the markings on the inside of the insert.) Lay the steamer insert inside. Place eggs on top, spreading them out to ensure they are not touching one another.

Step 2

Cover the pot. Using the manual button, set the pot to 5 minutes and high pressure. Make sure the valve on top is set to sealing. Fill a large bowl with ice and cold tap water.

Step 3

When the 5 minutes are up, switch the valve to venting, let the steam escape for 1 minute, then carefully twist open the lid to avoid steaming your face. Transfer eggs to ice-water bath, let cool for 30 seconds or longer, then peel, season and eat.
