Instructions (9 steps)

01Add 1 cup of water to the pressure cooker pot and place trivet inside.
02Spray silicone tray with nonstick cooking spray.
03Crack desired number of eggs into the holes of the silicone tray. Place tray on top of the trivet.
04Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 3-4 minutes (see notes regarding cooking time).
05When cooking is complete, use a quick release.
06Check the eggs. The egg white should be completely cooked and the yellow center should be slightly jiggly. If it’s not done, put the lid on the pot and let them sit for a few minutes, or if the white is really runny, pressure cook for another minute.
