Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs with their perfectly creamy yolk and firm whites make a great snack or school lunch box addition.

My Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs (Pressure Cooker) changed the way people cook eggs in their pressure cookers. My method is simple; there is no clock watching and no ice bath needed. The eggs jump right out of their shells!

Using an Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker for cooking eggs is so wonderful as there is never a need to stand over the stove and make sure the water does not boil over.

Why Another Hard Boiled Eggs Recipe?

  • My Instant Pot Egg Loaf is great for making egg salad. It is also a nice method for making Instant Pot Potato Salad.
  • However, we love eggs for snacking and for packing for trips and don’t want to worry about egg shells. That just ruins a good snack!
  • This recipe for Instant Pot NO PEEL Hard Boiled Eggs will blow your mind and you’re not going to be able to live without this super cool method. Your have been forewarned. 🙂

Use an Egg Bite Tray

Ingredients for Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

  • Eggs, hehehe, what did you think!!!
  • Oil for greasing egg bite trays

Which Egg Bites Mold to Use

  • There are several brands and types of what is now being called “egg bites trays or molds.” The design just keeps getting better and better.
  • My current favorite egg bites tray is this one by Salbree. They’ve added a built in trivet and handles, making using this tray very easy. Plus, the quality of the silicone tray and the lid is nice AND the lid snaps into place.

If you have an egg bites tray without the trivet like this, it is not an issue. You’ll just need to use a separate trivet.

Grease Egg Bites Tray Well

Grease Egg Bites Tray Well

Did you see what I did there? Well? Grease the tray wells? Grease the well of the tray. Okay, so not terribly funny, but hey, I tried.

What Oil is Best for Instant Pot No Peel hard Boiled Eggs

There really isn’t a best oil to use. I like to use coconut oil when I make eggs. The flavor is subtle and doesn’t interfere. A basting brush or a wadded up paper towel makes applying the oil easy.

The egg bite trays can also be spayed with your favorite oil. I use a Olive Oil Sprayer / Mister for Cooking for spraying.

Why Make Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

  • There is no worry about the eggs cracking during cooking since the shells are removed.
  • The eggs can be seasoned prior too cooking, so that when you meal prep, you don’t need to remember to add salt, pepper or This Old Gal (“TOG”) House Seasoning to the lunch box!
  • Best of all, you don’t need to peel your eggs before eating!

Pro Tip: The quality and thickness of the various brands of silicone egg bite trays are different and you may need to adjust the cooking time for your particular model.

Egg Bite Tray Snaps Right On

How Many Eggs Can Be Made At Once?

  • You can make one egg only. Or fill the mold and make all seven.
  • Stack the egg bite trays to make 14.

For a delicious egg salad recipe, check out my Pressure Cooker Low Carb Deviled Egg Salad Roll Ups recipe. You’ll see the egg loaf method demonstrated in that recipe.

Secure Egg Bite Tray and Place in Pressure Cooker

If using an egg bite tray without attached trivet and handles, you’ll need to use a stainless steel trivet instead.

The Color of the Yolk

  • You will want to determine if you prefer the egg yolk to be totally pale yellow, indicating a fully cooked yolk or a yolk with a bit of brightness, which make a creamier texture.
  • We like ours a bit less cooked. Check out the video so you can see how we like the yolk from the no peel hard boiled eggs. 

Pro Tip: The desired color of yolk depends on the pressure release time. The longer the eggs sit in the pot, the more cooked they become.

Perfect for Lunch Boxes

Perfect for Lunch Boxes

Kids love Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs in their lunch boxes, so they don’t have to worry about peeling their eggs and taking a bite with shell. The eggs are perfectly shaped to ensure a bite of yolk and white in each mouthful.

No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs are perfect for snacks and lunches to bring to work. We like the Elacra glass containers with locking lids.

Tips and Tricks for Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

  1. Make sure to grease the egg bite trays well.
  2. Eggs can be used right from the refrigerator.
  3. The eggs will continue to cook while in the egg bite tray, so make sure to remove them quickly.
  4.  The color of the yolk depends on how long you leave the eggs in the pot before releasing the pressure.

This Instant Pot No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs recipe method is great for when you want to make eggs to be used within the week for snacking and lunches without worrying about peeling the eggs.

Notes

Eggs will slightly continue to cook until they have completely cooled, so if they seem a bit undercooked when you first open the pressure cooker lid, don't worry about it.
My current favorite egg bite tray is this one by Salbree. They've added a built in trivet and handles, making using this tray very easy. Plus, the quality of the silicone tray and the lid is nice AND the lid snaps into place. If your mold does not have a built in trivet, you will need to add a trivet to the cooking pot.
The desired color of yolk depends on the pressure release time. The longer the eggs sit in the pot, the more cooked they become.
For a creamy bright yolk, allow the pressure to release for 6 minutes before releasing the rest of the pressure.
For a pale yellow yolk, allow the pressure to release for 8-10 minutes before releasing the rest of the pressure.
If the eggs remain in the silicone egg bite trays, they will continue to cook, as the trays will hold the heat for a bit, so make sure to get them out of the trays quickly.

    This wonderful! So happy I tried this. One of out dogs really really loves hard boiled eggs, not only did this make it so much easier, she won’t hear me crack and roll the shell….from other side of the house, outside, even if door is closed….LOL. All went well until I got the egg slicer out….she knows that sound too. Thank you so much for this!

    I just made these today! I sprayed the mold well with cooking spray and they slid right out. When I first told my husband that I was making hard boiled eggs like this, he said he wouldn’t like to try them. He’s eaten three already, and says they’re delicious ?.

    Just made them and they turned out great! Wish I could post pic in comment of outcome. Even though I did grease silicone cups well but still a little messy to clean as some parts did stick.
