I have used fresh store bought eggs, older store bought eggs and eggs fresh from my friends chickens and all of them cooked and peeled the same, so from what I have done I have not found any difference in cooking and peeling when it comes to the age of the eggs used. ## Instant Pot Hard-Boiled Eggs Tips - Overfilling your basket creates a higher chance that eggs won’t cook evenly so make sure you do not over fill the basket. - Eggs will be very hot so use a potholder when you are removing the eggs from the pressure cooker. ## How many Eggs can I cook at once? This recipe will work for 1 egg up to a dozen eggs, so you can cook as many eggs up to 12 as you want to at the same time. ## How Long to Hard Boil Eggs in an Instant Pot Hard boiled eggs in the InstantPot have just a 10 minute cook time, and then you will need 5 minutes in cold water for them to cool. ![](https://www.midgetmomma.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Instant-Pot-Hard-Boiled-Eggs-4.jpg) ## How to Store Hard Boiled Eggs Allow the eggs to fully cool and then place them peeled or unpeeled in an airtight container and store in the fridge. Eggs can be stored peeled or unpeeled depending on how you prefer to store them they will last longer if they are unpeeled. It is important to store the eggs within 2 hours after they are done being cooked and to store them on an inside shelf in the fridge and not on the fridge door. ## How long are Hard boiled eggs good for? Hard-boiled eggs will keep fresh for about a week in the fridge if they are left in the shell, if they are peeled it is best to eat them within 3 days. Hardboiled eggs are good left out for a max of 2 hours. If you are using them for Easter egg hunts or dying eggs make sure you have them back in the fridge within 2 hours or they are eaten. ## Can I freeze Hard boiled eggs? No hard boiled eggs do not freeze well. If frozen the egg whites will become rubbery. ![](https://www.midgetmomma.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Instant-Pot-Hard-Boiled-Eggs-11.jpg) ## How to Peel Hard Boiled Eggs Instant Pot hard boiled eggs are the easiest to peel eggs in the world and there are a few different ways that work to peel them, - Tap the egg in a few different spots around the circumference and then peel the shell off. - Crack the eggs open by rolling them on a kitchen counter and then peel the shell. - Hold the egg and use your thumbs to gently peel back the egg shell without damaging the egg whites. ## What Instant Pot size is this recipe for?
