Ingredients
- 2 cups Water
- 4 Eggs
Instructions
- Prepare Instant Pot: Pour 2 cups of water into the Instant Pot insert and place the steamer rack or trivet inside.
- Place Eggs: Arrange 4 eggs on the steamer rack, ensuring they sit above the water level for even cooking.
- Set Pressure Cook: Seal the Instant Pot lid, set it to manual pressure cooking on low pressure for 3 minutes, and confirm the sealing valve is closed.
- Release Pressure: After the cooking time, allow the Instant Pot to naturally pressurize (total time about 9 minutes). Then carefully switch the valve to venting to quickly release any remaining steam, taking no more than a minute.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the eggs carefully to avoid burns and submerge them immediately into an ice water bath or cold tap water for about 30 seconds to halt cooking. Peel, season, and enjoy.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs for easier peeling.
- Adjust pressure cooking time slightly for larger or smaller eggs.
- Cooling eggs immediately prevents overcooking and helps peel the shells easily.
- Soft boiled eggs are perfect for salads, toast toppings, or on their own as a nutritious snack.
- Prep Time: 2 minutes
