Breakfast & Breads

Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs

Makes 6–8 servings

Colleen Heatwole, Burton, MI

Prep. Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 5 minutes Setting: Manual Pressure: High Release: Manual

1 cup water

6–8 eggs

1. Pour the water into the inner pot. Place the eggs in a steamer basket or rack that came with pot.

2. Close the lid and secure to the locking position. Be sure the vent is turned to sealing. Set for 5 minutes on manual at high pressure. (It takes about 5 minutes for pressure to build and then 5 minutes to cook.)

3. Let pressure naturally release for 5 minutes, then do quick pressure release.

4. Place hot eggs into cool water to halt cooking process. You can peel cooled eggs immediately or refrigerate unpeeled.

NOTE

from the cook

This is the easiest way to cook hard-boiled eggs for deviled eggs—which we prefer to call angeled eggs.

TIP

Sauté cycle on my pot is very hot. Watch carefully or foods will scorch.

Poached Eggs

Makes 6–8 servings

Hope Comerford, Clinton Township, MI

Prep. Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 2–5 minutes Setting: Steam Pressure: High Release: Manual

1 cup water

4 large eggs

1. Place the trivet in the bottom of the inner pot of the Instant Pot and pour in the water.

2. You will need small silicone egg poacher cups that will fit in your Instant Pot to hold the eggs. Spray each silicone cup with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Crack each egg and pour it into the prepared cup.

4. Very carefully place the silicone cups into the Inner Pot so they do not spill.

5. Secure the lid by locking it into place and turn the vent to the sealing position.

6. Push the Steam button and adjust the time—2 minutes for a very runny egg all the way to 5 minutes for a slightly runny egg.

7. When the timer beeps, release the pressure manually and remove the lid, being very careful not to let the condensation in the lid drip into your eggs.

8. Very carefully remove the silicone cups from the inner pot.

9. Carefully remove the poached eggs from each silicone cup and serve immediately.
