• Add water to the inner pot of instant pot.
• Place the steaming rack or trivet (that comes with the instant pot) inside the pot.
• Carefully place the eggs in a single layer (you may use more eggs too, just make sure to place the eggs in a single layer for even cooking).
• Close the instant pot with lid in sealing position and cook in high pressure for 7 minutes for a medium boiled, completely cooked yolk that is bright orange in color.
• If you want soft boiled eggs, a cooking time of 5 minutes will be enough. Also, if you want the yolk to be perfectly hard boiled with a yellow yolk instead of bright orange color, you may cook for about 9 to 10 minutes.
• Let the pressure release naturally for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully do a gradual manual release to release the remaining pressure.
• Once the pressure is all released, carefully open the instant pot.
• Carefully and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with water and ice cubes for an ice water bath.
• Let the eggs sit in the water bath for at least five minutes. Personally, I prefer to do a water bath for the eggs for at least 10 minutes which makes the peeling much easier.
• After the ice water bath, carefully peel the eggs by gently tapping the eggs all over in a flat surafce and then carefully peel off the shell.
• You can serve the eggs right away with added salt and pepper or you can add them to any recipes calling for boiled eggs.
• You may also transfer the steamed boiled eggs to food containers and store in refrigerator for few more days so you can use them later in the week.

5-5-5 method for soft boiled eggs:

• If you prefer soft boiled eggs, you can follow the very popular 5-5-5 method for instant pot eggs.

  In this method, you pressure cook the eggs for 5 minutes, do a natural pressure release for 5 minutes (and release the remaining pressure gradually and carefully by manual pressure release).

  Then you can let the eggs sit in an ice water bath for 5 minutes, after which you can peel off the eggs!

  This method of 5-5-5 (five minutes cooking, five minutes natural pressure release and five minutes ice water bath) will give you easy to peel, soft boiled eggs.
• If you want even more softer eggs, that have more runny yolk texture, you may use a pressure cooking time of 4 minutes.
