Ingredients
- Eggs
- Water
Instructions
- Put your metal trivet into your Instant Pot.
- Put your steaming basket on top of the trivet.
- Add 1 cup of water to your Instant Pot.
- Put your desired number of eggs into the steaming basket. I usually do a full dozen eggs at once for meal prep, though you can do less and the Instant Pot will simply take less time to pressurize.
- Secure the lid and make sure the steam valve is in the Sealing position (not venting).
- Press EGG and make sure it is set to 5 minutes. I don’t like the egg yolk to be overcooked and “chalky” so I try not to over steam them.
- After the 5 minutes is up, quick release the pressure. If you don’t like the steam to go straight up, look below at the tools I’ve linked so you can redirect the steam and protect your cabinets. Use a dishtowel, cloth or oven mitt to protect your hand/arm from the steam.
- Turn off the Instant Pot or unplug it (it’ll stay on warm if you don’t).
- Let the eggs cool for a few minutes (5-10) until you can easily handle them with your bare hands.
- Peel the eggs and store in an air tight container in the fridge for easy breakfast or high protein snacks. I was able to peel 12 eggs in about 4 minutes, which is amazing! In case you’re wondering, steaming the eggs makes the membrane of the egg stick to the shell, so peeling them is WAY easier! Perfect for those of you who want to meal prep, make egg salad, or even deviled eggs as we get closer to the holiday season!
- Enjoy!
