I have a love and hate relationship with hard-boiled eggs. I love eating them but I hate making them. Well, let me clarify. I hate making them on the stove.

Yes, boiling eggs is one of the first thing that anyone learns how to make. Yes, it is easy. I do not dispute it.

I just really dislike boiling eggs. I don’t like that I have to wait for the water to boil. I don’t like counting minutes and seconds. I don’t like cooling them in ice water. \

My dislike of boiling eggs even propelled me to learn how to bake perfect boiled eggs in oven. I love this method so much that I even shared it in my new cookbook, The Ultimate One-Pan Oven Cookbook.

So, do we really need yet another method to make hard boiled eggs? Well, I honestly think we do. Because Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs make all other methods pale by comparison!

No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs made in Instant Pot (or another electric pressure cooker) are creamy, delicious, and fast. Perfect to make a couple on a busy weekday morning or make a big batch on the weekend and keep in the fridge for an easy meal prep throughout the week.

How to make Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

Making No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs is easy but you do need an extra accessory to make them. If you are interested in buying more accessories then check out my list of 9 Ultimate Instant Pot Accessories You Need to Buy.

Add one cup of water to the inner pot of your Instant Pot (this is the specific model that I use).
Place a trivet that came with your Instant Pot inside.
Spray inside of silicone egg bites moulds with cooking spray. Note: You really do need to spray the moulds or the eggs will stick. I tried both and the egg white sticks to the mould without the spray.
Carefully crack an egg into each of the egg bites mould cavities without breaking the egg yolk.
Place the egg bites mould on the trivet inside Instant Pot.
Close the lid and seal Instant Pot.
Cook on High Pressure for 7 minutes. (See notes about timings in the section below)
Do a Natural Pressure Release for 3 minutes.
Finish with Quick Release.

Optionally you can season the eggs with salt and pepper right after you cracked them into the moulds.

TIP: You can stack two egg bites moulds on top of each other thus making a dozen no peel eggs at a time!

Timing to make No peel eggs

I use this specific mould to make my no peel eggs. However, since I bought it on Canadian Amazon, I couldn’t find it on American Amazon. Different egg bites moulds vary in thickness of the silicone.

My mould is relatively thin so 7 minutes on High Pressure makes the most beautiful hard-boiled egg yolk I’ve ever seen! It’s velvet in consistency, gorgeous yellow without any hint of liquid egg yolk or green ring.

But different moulds may yield different results. Some moulds may require longer cooking time. I would suggest trying 1 egg first and then adjusting the timing for your particular silicone egg bites mould. It may take up to 12-14 minutes. Or, alternatively, it could take less than 7 minutes.

Meal prepping with Hard Boiled Eggs

I don’t do a lot of meal prepping. I don’t work in an office now, so grabbing something from the fridge for lunch is pretty easy. But I started doing meal prep lunches on occasion and I have to say – I love them!

Having everything already measured out is a time-saver. It also allows me to not over-eat and helps with portion control. One of my favourite Meal Prep Lunches is Steak and Mushroom Salad.

Using these Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs makes meal prepping snack bowls a breeze.

Cut up a few veggies, such as carrots, peppers, cucumbers
Add a small container of dip: use store-bought or homemade hummus or other dip. You can even just use cottage cheese.
Add a few wedges of pita or a few crackers
Add one or two hard boiled eggs

Voila! These Meal Prep Snack Bowls with Hard Boiled Eggs will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days and you’ll have a beautiful, filling, and healthy snack.

I am a newbie meal prepper but I’ve been taking cues from Carmy of Carmy – Run Eat Travel who is a meal prep queen. I pretty much want to live in her neighbourhood so that she feeds me all her meal prep bowls.

Carmy recently wrote a totally amazing e-book about Meal Prep Basics. I actually have my own copy and it’s incredible. She even has sample timeline on how to make sure you minimize your time cooking while maximizing the amount of recipes you make.

There are chapters on snack ideas. There are tips on cooking veggies and grains. There are recipes.

If you are thinking of learning how to meal prep then you must buy her e-book. It really is great!! (Not affiliate link, I just really love her e-book)

How to store No Peel hard Boiled Eggs

I love making a whole dozen of these Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

I am a big fan of plastic Lock & Lock Food Storage Containers, so they are the ones I use most of the time. But I also use their glass containers, which, by the way, are also oven-safe, so they can double as baking dishes.
