Everyone has a different method of cooking Hard Boiled Eggs – whether you use an instant pot, stovetop or a steamer these eggs come out perfect every time.
These methods will work for just about any amount of eggs – though I would suggest keeping to a maximum of 12 if you are cooking them in your instant pot.
This Hard Boiled Eggs recipe makes 6 serves. 1 serving is 1 egg.
Store leftover Hard Boiled Eggs in the fridge for up to 4 days if peeled and 1 week if left in the shell. I don’t recommend freezing them.
