Pour cold water into a 6-quart Instant Pot. Place the steamer basket, egg rack, or trivet full of eggs into the Instant Pot.
Cover Instant Pot with lid and ensure the pressure release valve is sealed.
Turn the Instant Pot onto High Pressure and set the timer for 5 minutes if you like a slightly less done yolk, or 6 minutes if you like them a bit more creamy.
The Instant Pot will take a few minutes to heat up, and then will start the cooking process (5-6 minutes.) Once the Instant Pot timer goes off, wait an additional 5 minutes before releasing the pressure valve.
Quickly remove your eggs using towels (the eggs will be hot!) and transfer them to an ice water bath. Make sure the eggs are completely covered with water/ice and let them cool in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes.
Once completely cooled, hit the rounded bottom of the egg on a hard surface and then vigorously roll the egg so it has cracks ALL over it. Peel the egg under cold running water for best results.
Make classic deviled eggs, egg salad sandwiches, or enjoy them on their own!
