Just wondering if you are at a high altitude, Pamela? I grew up in Missouri at 2000+/- feet and my mom told me to boil eggs for 10 minutes, no more, or I’d get a green ring around my eggs. I now live at 5600 feet and I boil for 16 minutes every time or my eggs are nowhere near hard-boiled. (Our water boils at 209/210 degrees up here — it almost takes too much math to bake!)

Wow we just made 20 eggs in our 6 qt IP. 30 mins from start to finish. My husband is peeling them right now. He says they’re so much easier to peel. BTW he’s peeling and eating and says they are delicious.

[…] cooked my eggs in the Instant Pot using the 5-5-5 method. Cooking With Curls shows you how here. This is my favorite method because the shells just roll off. If your pressure cooker didn't come […]

One of the matriarchs of my family told me for Deviled eggs to come out right that you need to flip them in the egg carton for about 12-16 hours in the fridge. This allows the yolks to slowly move towards the center. Someone also suggested 4-6 hours on the counter but I’m not so sure about that. I am going to try to putting them upside down in the IP and see if that works. I keep forgetting to do it though, lol..

I forgot to add that I cook them for 5 minutes. And if anyone has any helps for the yolk in the center issue, I’d gladly welcome input. Thanks.

I have done as many as 48 at one time. Cooked perfectly. My only complaint of doing them in the instant pot is my yolks NEVER come out in the center, making it impossible to use them for deviled eggs. Otherwise, they taste great. I do mine with 1.5 cups of water, low pressure, quick release, and straight to the ice bath to cool down.

Did you ever find out if you could do more than 12? I want to do 18. (Hungry teenagers in the house-yikes!)

I leave mine I the IP til they cool. Then put then in the carton to put in the fridge. when needed use a teaspoon to slip under the cracked egg top where the air sack is. Always ready for egg salad, top a salad or a quick bite. Love my IP, next best kitchen appliance to a convection oven.
