Notes

3-qt Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs: First, prepare an ice bath for the eggs to cool them quickly after they are cooked. Place the wire rack in the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water and place the eggs on the rack. Secure the lid, close the steam vent, and cook the eggs using the high-pressure setting for 5 minutes. Once the timer goes off let the steam release naturally for 5 minutes. Cover the steam valve with a towel and open it to quickly release the rest of the steam. Transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Once cooled, peel the eggs and discard the shells.

Stovetop hard-boiled eggs: Prepare an ice bath for the cooked eggs. Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, cover the saucepan with a lid, and take the pan off the heat. Leave the eggs in the covered pan for 9-10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Once cooled, peel the eggs and discard the shells.
