Yes you need a trivet for boiling eggs. You should have gotten one when you received your Instant Pot. It is the wire rack that keeps things off the bottom of the pot. The reason they say to use that when steaming or making foods like that is to keep the food off the bottom of the pot. it heats from the bottom and if you put that kind of food directly on the bottom it might burn. Hope this helps.

But do you need a trivet for hard boiling eggs? I checked somewhere and the blogger said put the eggs on Trivet. What’s the use of a trivet in the instant pot?

You can do four minutes for slightly harder eggs, but I’ve found that three works for me. Looking on the Amazon.de site, there only appear to be two instant pot models for sale. The bluetooth one is not included. One thing though, it seems that one of the versions they sell has a specific setting for eggs. Whereas the bluetooth one we have does not. Who knows. Different markets I suppose. In any event, soft boiled eggs is just one of the things you can do with it. It’s not like you’re just buying it for that purpose. As long as the smart cooker app stays accessible, then I’ll be more than happy with it.

To do my eggs, I use the manual setting. But that doesn't mean that using the steam setting is wrong, it is just another idea. There is so much you can do with it. Now, to keep this on track, with the app, it just makes it even better and easier to use. I love all the things that are integrated in to the iPhone with so many great apps.

But seriously, how to you know you have to set it on high heat and manual to 3 minutes for soft, I can see how it would make sense if it had a setting called “Soft boiled eggs”, but knowing what you need to set it to seems less smart than I would expect unless I am missing something here.

I mean, you could apply that same logic to anything else then. Rice, beans, and so on. Indeed, soft boiled eggs are one of the more popular things to throw in the instant pot. Add about a cup of water, throw in the number of eggs you want. Be it four, six eight. Up to how many fit. Lock the lid, seal the pressure valve. In the app, set to manual, then three minutes under high heat. Star the process and walk away. Just wait for it to beep. Release the steam. Fish out the eggs and dunk in some water for thirty seconds and you have perfectly soft boiled eggs every single time. You don’t have to worry about adjusting for this or that if you’ve got medium or large or XL eggs. You can do six minutes if you want hard or two if you want runny, etc. That and another thing with the instant pot, you can set it to start at a specific time. I’m the early bird for example and when we want boiled eggs, I just throw them in and set it to start to times X, Y or Z and go off to do other things and by the time my wife’s done shaking off the sandman and come down for breakfast, the eggs are finishing their process and I didn’t have to hang around the stove to monitor the water.

When you do them in the instant pot the shell just slides off of the egg and no membrane sticks to the egg. It is wonderful.

Just put your egg in a pot, put cold water in it so it covers the egg and then bring it to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water boils remove the pot from the stove completely or put it on an unused area and set a 4 to 6 minute timer (depends on how runny you want the yoke to be). Make sure to put under cold water as soon as the time is up and it works every time.

The app is at least. There are various models, but the one if you’re blind that you want to get is the bluetooth model. My wife’s getting to love it. More than anything, it takes the guess work and fear out of working with a pressure cooker. I’ve made pretty standard stuff with it. Soft boiled eggs, oatmeal, rice, yogurt, etc. She’s the chef in the family, so she’s made more stuff with it. Soups, quark and regular cheese cake, pork and beef roast, rice pudding. In fact, she’s making a cherry cheese cake in the instant pot right now and will be making a beef roast for Thanks Giving dinner a bit later. In short, it’s the bomb. We’re thinking of getting my mother-in-law in Germany one for Christmas this year too. If only there were other smart appliances such as this that were made fully accessible with an app. I know there are more and more appliances with voice recognition like washers/dryers, ranges and so on, but always having to speak out commands can seem a bit tedious.
