Instant Pot Silicone Egg Rack

Here’s how it works: Simply place the rack in the chamber of your empty Instant Pot and stand up to nine eggs upright on each of the silicone circles. Then, add water and turn your machine on, allowing your pressure cooker to boil your eggs to your liking. Without an egg rack, eggs are free to float around in the chamber, leaving them vulnerable to cracking against the metal walls. Instead, this trivet keeps eggs in safe in place (which also helps them cook more evenly).

Once your hard-boiled eggs are done, safely remove them and wash them under cold water as fast as possible—this will stop them from continuing to cook and allow you to get the easiest peel.

That’s it! Perfect eggs in 5 minutes, with no fuss and no muss.

Once you’re done, just pop the Instant Pot egg insert in the dishwasher until your next go-round. Then, sit back and enjoy—the protein-packed food is great on its own, making an easy on-the-go snack on your commute or before you hit the gym. If you want to get really creative, try an HBE-friendly recipe, like hard-boiled egg gratin or hard-boiled egg grilled cheese.  Whatever you decide, it’s sure to be egg-cellent.
