I'm sure everyone has a strategy for hard boiled eggs but I hate fighting stubborn shells. Tried cooking some in the InstantPot today and they were probably the easiest I have made yet. Dozen large eggs left out at room temperature for a few hours. Cook 5 minutes on high. Natural release for 5 minutes and then manual pressure release. Lastly, 10 minutes in an ice water bath. Crack and peel under faucet with luke warm water. Shells peel right off. Share your secret.

I make a dozen at a time in a toaster oven. 325 for 20 minutes, perfect every time. Easy peeling.

Instapot is the ONLY way I will HB an egg. 5+10 sounds like a very iver cooked egg to me though?
I load them in on a trivet, add hot water to the bottom of the eggs.
3 minutes pressure cook, 3 minutes natural release, then manual release, ice bath.
Try backing down on the time and let us know what you think!

Try backing down on the time and let us know what you think! I did 5+5. The 10 minutes was the ice bath. They came out fine but were starting to show the slightest green on the very outer edge of the yolk so I'm sure I could go a little less..

Sorry, yea, misread that! 3+3+ice bath gets you an easy peel, super soft HB egg, that is past soft boiled, but not by much. People have different taste in HB eggs, mine is *just* this side of soft boiled: 3+3+bath nails that. YMMV!

Give them a cold bath when done. Works like a champ. Seems you could scale this up great. Put a wired rack on a cookie tray and do a couple dozen in the regular oven for holiday deviled eggs.

Il have to keep this in mind. Any one successfully done soft boiled egg in the Instapot? Soft boiled had been a favorite of mine. Stove top for me on the soft boiled.

I have a small pot that i boil my eggs in.
It is just the right size for 4 eggs and when filled with water it just covers them with an inch of dry to the top.
When the water gets down to about the top half of the eggs i turn them off.
They are drained and tap water run over them till pot is cool to the touch.
I usually run water slow and just warmer than cold.

Stove top for me on the soft boiled. start with HOT water so pressure builds up immediately. 3 minute cook, IMMEDIATELY relieve pressure and peel. That should get you really close, adjust time as necessary!

Everything I've tried is hit/miss, though I don't generally do hard-boiled.

Six minutes for perfect eggs.
Now my brother in law throws a little baking soda in his water when he boils them, they turn out perfect too.

I put in a a dozen eggs for about 7 minutes then release the pressure and dip in cool water and peel. The shell comes right off for me.
