3. Arrange eggs: Use the steamer rack or trivet, carefully set in all 8 eggs in a single layer.
4. Seal and cook: Lock the lid, set the valve to “Sealing,” and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
5. Natural release: Let pressure release naturally for 5 more minutes—this ensures even cooking.
6. Quick release: Turn the valve to “Venting” to release remaining steam, then open the lid away from you.
7. Ice bath: Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for at least 10 minutes to stop cooking.
8. Peel & enjoy: Gently tap and roll eggs on the counter, peel under running water for flawless results.

Tips for Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
