I use the 5, 5, 5 method. Set on manual setting for five minutes. Unplug (or turn off) instant pot and wait 5 minutes and then release the pressure. Place all the eggs in an ice water bath for five minutes. Peel and use the ones you want and put the remaining ones in the refrigerator for a few days and eat when you want! Easy, peasy!

Love our instant pot. Lots and lots of videos and recipes online. Google is your friend!!
