Ingredients

1 cup water
1-6 eggs

Steaming eggs in the shell gives you the very best results, whether you want soft-, medium-, or hard-cooked eggs. An extra benefit of steaming: Your hard-cooked eggs will never acquire a green ring around the yolk—a sign of overcooking.

INSTRUCTIONS

Pour the water into the Instant Pot. Place a steamer basket or the trivet in the pot.
Carefully arrange eggs in the steamer basket. Secure the lid on the pot. Close the pressure-release valve.
For soft-cooked eggs, select Manual and cook at Low Pressure for 3 minutes. When cooking time is complete, use a natural release to depressurize. (For medium-cooked eggs, cook for 4 minutes; for hardcooked eggs, cook for 5 minutes.)
Remove the lid from the pot and gently place eggs in a bowl of cool water for 1 minute to serve warm.
