½ cup waterwater

Instructions (3 steps)

01Place the steamer basket in the base of your Instant Pot. Add 1/2 cup water. Carefully place up to 6 eggs on the basket, making sure they're not touching (*see Notes below). Seal the pot and cook on the manual setting for 5 minutes.
02Quick release the pressure and allow the eggs to stand in the pot for 4 more minutes (you may need to add more resting time, experimenting with adding 1 minute at a time, at higher elevations).
03While the eggs are resting, fill a bowl with ice water. After 4 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice water. Allow to rest for 10-15 minutes in the ice bath and then enjoy or store for later.
