This Easter, make a big batch of Instant Pot \/ pressure cooker hard-boiled eggs<\/strong> to decorate with your favorite festive designs. The pressure cooker is the best way to make large amounts of easy to peel hard-boiled eggs in minutes. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pressure<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I make hard-boiled eggs in the Instant Pot \/ pressure cooker all year long. But come Easter, I\u2019m making big batches of perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs to decorate with my kids. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udd5a If this is your first time cooking eggs in the pressure cooker, start with my Perfect Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs Post<\/a>, where I\u2019ve covered everything you need to know.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update: <\/strong><\/em>Every Easter, I make huge batches of hard-boiled eggs in the pressure cooker. I\u2019ve updated this post with new tips to help you make large batches of eggs to decorate with your family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Instant<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An electric pressure cooker is the best way to ensure that whether you\u2019re cooking one or several dozen eggs, they come out perfectly hard-boiled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the best part about pressure cooker hard-boiled eggs?<\/strong> They\u2019re much easier to peel than the stovetop method. No more egg sticking to the shell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make Big-Batch Pressure Cooker Hard Boiled Eggs for Easter <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This big-batch hard-boiled egg recipe will work in any brand of electric pressure cooker, including the Instant Pot<\/a>, Ninja Foodi<\/a>, or Power Pressure Cooker XL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find that the best tool to make a large number of pressure cooker hard-boiled eggs is a good steamer basket.<\/strong> My favorite is the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Steamer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you prefer a silicone steamer basket, the deep sides of the Avokado steamer basket<\/a> makes it easy to remove all of the eggs from the pressure cooking pot at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have a steamer basket, you can use the rack or trivet that came with your pressure cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Whether I’m cooking a small or big batch, I follow the 6-6-6 rule for pressure cooker hard-boiled eggs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a deeper look at the process, read my guide to perfect pressure cooker eggs<\/a>. The 6-6-6 timing represents 6 minutes at high pressure, a 6-minute natural pressure release (followed by a quick release), and 6 minutes in an ice bath to cool the eggs down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This timing works every time for me here at 5,000 feet. <\/strong>However, those of you at lower altitudes report that a shorter cooking, time, such as 5-5-5 or even 4-4-4 gets the job done. To test it out the first time, try cooking one egg and seeing what works best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Many Eggs Can I Cook in My Pressure Cooker?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the best part about this recipe: you can crowd in as many eggs as will fit inside your pressure cooker bowl! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We pile our steamer basket high with eggs and usually don\u2019t have issues with cracking. (When we occasionally do get a crack, I\u2019m pretty it\u2019s because the egg already had a hairline fracture before I placed it in the pressure cooker.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u23f2\ufe0f Regardless of whether you\u2019re cooking one egg or dozens, there\u2019s no need to change the cook time, pressure release time, or even the amount of water! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
