Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Place the trivet or steamer rack into the Instant Pot insert.
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the Instant Pot.
Gently place the eggs on the trivet or in a steaming basket, ensuring they do not touch the water.
Secure the Instant Pot lid and make sure the valve is set to the 'Sealing' position.
Set the Instant Pot to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' mode, and adjust the timer to 4 minutes for soft boiled eggs with a runny yolk. (For slightly firmer yolks, increase the time to 5 minutes.)
Once the cooking time is complete, immediately perform a Quick Release by carefully turning the valve to the 'Venting' position to release the pressure.
Carefully remove the eggs from the Instant Pot and place them in an ice bath (a bowl filled with ice water) for 2 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Peel the eggs gently and serve warm. Enjoy as-is or use as a topping for dishes like toast or ramen!
