Instant Pot NoPeel Hard Boiled Eggs

I love hard boiled eggs. It hasbeen an addiction of mine from childhood. I grew up loving egg mayonnaise (Americanscall it an egg salad) and I loved eggs over a delicious salad. Not to mentionmy love for sliced eggs on toast.

The only kitchen accessory we hadback then for eggs was a slicer. The egg slicer would slice the egg perfectlyand you would think how gourmet your egg looked.

But your parents would still havegone through the effort of boiling the egg, attempting to peel it before itlanded on your dinner plate.

That is why I am glad that I amteaching my kids to cook in this modern kitchen gadget world and they can watchwith amazement as the magic of the instant pot, takes the effort away andproduces amazing instant pot no peel hard boiled eggs.

I am sure if you are reading this, you have been made aware that eggs are one of the key favourites for cooking in your instant pot or other electric pressure cooker.

That is TRUE. And it isnot a new thing. Back in January 2017 when we first shared instant pot hard boiled eggs forbeginners people were amazed that we showed them a way to easilypeel boiled eggs without having to follow the annoying 5-5-5 method whichincluded an ice bath.

But what if you could crack your eggsinto a mould, just like the motion when you fry an egg and then 7 minutes laterreturn to perfect hard boiled eggs that need ZERO peeling.

There are 2 main ingredients that go into instant pot nopeel hard boiled eggs:

That is literally it! Because the egg mould is so AMAZING (well this one is that we use), you don’t need to oil the egg bite mould as they come out perfectly every time.

We tried it several times and not once did it stick!

Though, I have been made aware that some lower quality brands do stick. The one we use is also the same brand that has many best selling instant pot accessories that we feature in many of our instant pot recipes as we love their products. They have just amazed me with how easy they have made instant pot cooking.

You can use any eggs that cook well. My favourite eggs are duck eggs, but regular hen eggs work fine too.

Just like you can use cheap eggs and quality free range eggs. We won’t judge, just use what eggs you LOVE.

A mention should of course go to the Instant Pot we use. We have both the 6 quart, 8 quart instant pot. We also have the 6 quart Mealthy Multipot.

The size of instant pot you have only matters if you want to cook 14 no peel hard boiled eggs at once. You see each egg bite mould holds 7 eggs.

If you wanted to stack and do 2 lots and cook 14 at once, you would need the 8 quart. This is because the 8 quart is slightly taller and will fit them in better.

FAQs

Why are my hard-boiled eggs cracking in the Instant Pot? ›

One Caveat to Pressure Cooker Eggs

Not ideal if you're planning to dye a bunch of Easter eggs, of course, but perfectly fine for deviled eggs. If your eggs seem to be cracking more often, or are cracking before the whites are set, try cooking them at low pressure instead of high pressure.

What is the egg setting on an Instant Pot? ›

Plug in the Instant Pot, lock the lid, and position the steam release valve to "sealed." Press the "Egg" button on the Instant Pot. It will pressure cook the pot for five minutes on normal. This will result in hard-boiled eggs. If you want soft-boiled eggs, use the "-" button to reduce the cook time to four minutes.

How come my hard boiled eggs don't peel? ›

Hard-cooked eggs may be difficult to peel if they are very fresh. This is because an egg shrinks inside during storage, which pulls the inner membrane away from the inside of the shell. For this reason, a hard-cooked egg will peel more easily if it has been stored for 1 or 2 weeks before it is cooked.

Why are my eggs exploding in the Instant Pot? ›

The trivet helps to keep the eggs nicely arranged so they don't collide during cooking and risk cracking, but the eggs should cook just fine without it. Note that not using a trivet *could* be why your eggs explode in the Instant Pot.

Why did my eggs turn brown in Instant Pot? ›

Here are some possible reasons: Forget to add water to the Instant Pot. Not using a trivet and placing the eggs directly on the Instant Pot surface. Cooking the eggs for too long.

How many eggs can I hard boil at a time in my Instant Pot? ›

The best eggs to hard boil are those that are at least three days old. Super fresh eggs tend to be harder to peel. The best part of this method is you can cook up to 18 eggs at a time in the Instant Pot with just one cup of water! Feel free to stack them on top of each other, it won't hurt a thing.

How long are hard-boiled eggs good for? ›

Hard cooked eggs can be stored in the refrigerator up to seven days, either left in their shells or peeled. Make sure eggs are refrigerated within two hours after cooking, and don't leave refrigerated cooked eggs out at room temperature for more than two hours.

What is the 50 eggs reference? ›

“Nobody can eat 50 eggs!”

It was the disbelief and outrage of his fellow inmates that pushed Paul Newman's character in the movie Cool Hand Luke to prove that he could indeed pull off the unthinkable feat he had just muttered out loud to no one in particular.

Can you eat 2 week old hard-boiled eggs? ›

The FDA recommends consuming hard-boiled eggs within a week, and two weeks is well past that deadline. Since spoiled hard-boiled eggs can make you sick, it's best to be safe and toss out any leftover hard-boiled eggs that have been in the fridge for more than one week.

Why do my hard-boiled eggs crack in the Instant Pot? ›

Why are my eggs cracking in the instant pot? If your eggs are cracking, it might be because the cooking time is set for too long. Another reason may be that the pressure is too high. You can try lowering the cooking time, and setting the pressure to low to see if that helps your instant pot eggs to stop cracking.

Do eggs have to be submerged in Instant Pot? ›

Make sure your eggs are not submerged in water as this could affect the final result of the eggs. If using warm water, you may want to shorten the time from 5 minutes to 4 minutes, as warm water will take a shorter time to come to pressure.

How to boil an egg perfectly? ›

Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for the following times according to the desired doneness: 3 minutes for SOFT boiled; 6 minutes for MEDIUM boiled; 12 minutes for HARD boiled.

How do restaurants peel hard boiled eggs? ›

By placing the eggs and water into the container and shaking it vigorously for a minute or two, the eggs will peel themselves. The action causes them to smash against each other, shattering their shells, which are then washed away by the water.

How do you make eggs easier to peel when boiling? ›

Drop the eggs into boiling water. Eggs added to a pot of boiling water rather than brought to a boil along with the cold water will be easier to peel. Plus, this method allows for more precise timing.
