Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot with trivet
  • measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • 8 brown eggs
  • 1 C water

Instructions
 

  • Place trivet in Instant Pot. Place eggs on trivet. Pour water in. Seal Instant Pot making sure the vent is in the sealed position. Set to Manual for 4 minutes for large brown eggs.
  • After the 4 minutes, let it naturally depress for 3 minutes. Then quick release.
  • Immediately remove eggs and place in an ice bath(large bowl with water and ice)
  • When eggs are cooled, they are ready to eat. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

If you are using large white eggs, they seem to have a quicker cook time(at least in my instant pot), so the yolk will turn that grayish color around the edges if you cook the full time of this recipe.  I recommend cooking 3 minutes on manual, then natural depress 2 minutes, then quick release.
