Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups water

Method
 

  1. Gather everything: Place the pressure cooker on the counter, grab your eggs and measure water.
  2. Add water: Pour 2 cups water into the inner pot—this creates steam.
  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.
