Step #3: Place steaming basket into Instant Pot over water.

Step #4: Close the lid on the pressure cooker and then turn the valve to the sealing position.

Step #5: Set to a manual high time for 5 minutes. When the cooking time has finished, allow a natural release for 5 minutes before releasing the rest of the pressure.

Step #6: Remove eggs from the steamer basket and place them in an ice water bath to stop the cooking process. Shells will easily peel off the eggs with little effort.
