Place the steamer rack trivet that came with your Instant Pot in the bottom of the stainless steel pot.
Add as many eggs as you want. I have tried up to 14, but I’m sure you could do more!
Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot.
Set it to high pressure for 5 minutes.
Wait 5 minutes, then manually release the pressure.
Open the Instant Pot and remove the eggs.
Run eggs under cool water or put into an ice bath in a bowl to stop the cooking process.
Peel and enjoy!

You will need to use the Instant Pot trivet or a stainless steamer basket to make this recipe. You don’t want the eggs sitting right up against the stainless insert so that they don't crack during cooking.
You will need at least one cup of water. The Instant Pot will not come to pressure without enough water, and it needs to be cold water. Warm or hot water can alter the cook time significantly.
Depending on your specific model, the pressure cook button may be labeled as the manual button.
Use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the water bath.
