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

How do you make hard-boiled eggs not peel easy? ›

Shocking your recently boiled eggs by submerging them into a bowl of ice water is key. The quick cooling of the hard-boiled eggs causes the egg whites to contract, freeing them from the membrane. If you let them cool for about 15 minutes, the peeling is much easier.

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

Your Instant Pot should have come with a metal trivet. Arrange eggs: Place the eggs on top of the trivet. I have a 6 QT IP and I can easily fit 12 eggs on the trivet. You can make as many as 1 or to however many you can fit in your IP.

What is the 6 6 6 method for hard-boiled eggs? ›

The 6-6-6 method simply means cooking your eggs for 6 minutes at high pressure followed by a 6-minute natural pressure release (then a quick release), and 6 minutes in an ice bath. People who prefer a softer egg use the 4-4-4 or 5-5-5 method, which follows the same high pressure-natural release-ice bath formula.

Is 5 eggs in the morning good for you? ›

For most healthy adults, it's safe to eat 1–2 eggs a day depending on how much other cholesterol is in your diet. If you already have high cholesterol or other risk factors for heart disease, it may be best to eat no more than 4–5 eggs per week.

Why does vinegar make hard-boiled eggs easier to peel? ›

Adding white vinegar or apple cider vinegar to your pot of water allegedly results in softer, easier-to-peel eggshells. That's because the acid in vinegar dissolves some of the calcium carbonate that makes up the egg's hard exterior.

How do you know if an egg is bad? ›

Simply fill a bowl with cold tap water and place your eggs in it. If they sink to the bottom and lay flat on one side, they are fresh and good to eat. A bad egg will float because of the large air cell that forms at its base. Any floating eggs should be thrown out.

How long does it take to hard boil 10 eggs at once? ›

How do you cook a lot of hard-boiled eggs at once? ›

Why did my hard boiled eggs not peel? ›

Eggs in General

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.
