Instant Pot Egg Setting

Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker that offers various cooking functions and settings, including options for cooking eggs. The specific egg settings may vary depending on the model of Instant Pot you have, but here are some common egg-related settings you might find:

Manual/Pressure Cook: This setting allows you to set the cooking time manually and the pressure level for cooking eggs. It gives you full control over the cooking process, allowing you to experiment with different cooking times and pressure levels to achieve your desired results.
Egg: Some Instant Pot models have a dedicated “Egg” button or preset designed for cooking eggs. This setting usually provides pre-programmed cooking times and pressure levels optimized for cooking eggs. It simplifies the process by automatically adjusting the cooking parameters for consistent results.

Egg Rack/Trivet: The Instant Pot often has an egg rack or trivet accessory. This allows you to place the eggs above the water. Placing the eggs on the rack or trivet prevents them from touching the bottom of the pot and helps to ensure even cooking.
Soft, Medium, Hard: Some Instant Pot models offer specific settings for cooking eggs to different levels of doneness, such as soft-boiled, medium-boiled, or hard-boiled. These settings adjust the cooking time accordingly to achieve the desired consistency of the egg yolks.
Delay Start: The Instant Pot may have a delay button setting that allows the timer for the cooking process to begin at a later time. This can be useful if you want to have perfectly cooked eggs ready for breakfast or any other specific time.

It’s important to consult your specific Instant Pot model’s user manual for precise instructions and information on the available egg settings, as they vary between models.
