The Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Egg Loaf is the BEST hack you will ever find for your Instant Pot. JUST 7 minutes and you have perfect hard-boiled eggs without having to peel a single egg.
This Instant Pot Egg Loaf is the Instant Pot recipe of your dreams. Imagine that you love hard boiled eggs and you HATE peeling all those eggs, only to chop them up and put them into an egg salad or make delicious egg mayonnaise with.
It just seems like such a pointless thing to do.
Then you have all those shells that go everywhere and then someone will complain about a tiny bit of egg shell in their food.
Plus, you have followed loads of hard boiled eggs recipes for the Instant Pot and they all confuse you with the code:
5-5-5
The idea that you must do 3 different things for 5 minutes each, can really do your head in especially if you are new to Instant Pot pressure cooking.
But that is when the Instant Pot Egg Loaf comes in.
Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Egg Loaf
To Make Our Instant Pot Egg Loaf You Simply:
- Place ½ a cup of water into the Instant Pot inner pot
- Oil your spring form pan
- Crack your eggs into your spring form pan
- Place your Spring Form Pan on top of the trivet inside your Instant Pot
- Cook for 7 minutes on manual
- Quick release and you have an egg loaf
That is literally it. No messing about with natural pressure release. Just cook it and release pressure and you’re done. Because you oiled your spring form pan it comes out perfectly.
As well as this you cook 7 large eggs at once and as its for 7 minutes its so easy to remember. Call it your 7-minute method and then it will stay in your mind each time you want some egg mayonnaise for dinner.
Get your Egg Loaf out of the Instant Pot, then slice and dice. Use it however you like and just enjoy the fact that very little effort went into making your hard-boiled eggs.

I don’t understand #6. Quick pressure release is the same as manual pressure release, i.e., manually turning the valve to vent. Did you mean “NPR”— to let it naturally release for another 7 minutes after cooking for 7 minutes, and then manually release?
Hi Karen
Yes I meant quick pressure release.
Thanks ?
