Arrange eggs as evenly as possibly on wire rack inside Instant Pot.
Add 1 cup of water, seal pot and set to high pressure for 8 minutes.
Perform a quick release and immediately transfer eggs into an ice water bath.
Peel quickly and store on paper towels in a self sealing bag in the refrigerator.

Cook time is the same whether cooking 2 eggs or 12 eggs at a time as long as eggs are the same size
Do not fill pot more than 2/3 full for best results
If an egg cracks or splits open and a little bit of the boiled egg white pushes out the side it is still safe to eat if it cooked for the full amount of time.
Always make a couple extra eggs in case a couple split open while cooking
If eggs have a greenish tinge of line around the outside of the yolk they are overcooked. Try another batch and decrease the cooking time.
Cooking times will vary based on your appliance and a variety of factors. You should test this recipe in your own appliance to determine the best cooking time for your situation.
