Ingredients

  • 12 White Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Turmeric Powder
  • 4 tbsp Distilled White Vinegar
  • 6-7 cups water or more if needed

Instructions

  • Dissolve Turmeric and Distilled White Vinegar in a bowl.Place the inner pot inside the Instant Pot. Plug it in.
  •  I used PIP that is Pot in Pot method. Where I placed a Stackable Pot inside the liner. You may place the eggs directly in the Inner Pot. Or use IP Egg Rack.
  • If you are making this directly in the main inner pot, then add the turmeric and vinegar mix to the pot. Now add 1 cup of water and mix well. If you are using a PIP method, then first add 1 cup water in the main inner pot. Then place the smaller pot inside. And follow steps as mentioned above.
  • Add eggs to the pot. Fill the pot with water just enough to cover the top of the eggs. 
  • Close the lid and set the valve to SEALING.Press Manual/Pressure Cook and set it on HIGH/MORE for 10 minutes.
  • When the timer beeps, follow QR (Quick Pressure Release).Open the lid, remove the eggs carefully from the Pot. Give them a quick bath in cold water. They are ready.
  • You may eat them within 2 hours of cooking them. Or you may use these as Easter Table Decor. I plan to do both. 

Can we eat Dyed Easter Eggs?

  • There is a time window in which you can certainly consume these. After boiling the Eggs, they are good to be eaten within 2 hours time window. Or refrigerate the eggs before the 2 hours window expires. Anytime after that, do not eat these eggs at room temperature. I actually peeled and stored the eggs in the refrigerator to use them in a curry later.

How long to cook Eggs in Instant Pot for Hard Boiled Eggs?

  • Eggs boil perfectly with the timing I used and peel off easily as well. I cooked them for 10 minutes on High Pressure and followed Quick Pressure Release. I contemplated time a lot since 5-5-5 is a commonly followed method for hard-boiled eggs. But to my pleasant surprise, 10 minutes and QR worked really well. The eggs peeled easily as well.
