Tips Tricks and FAQs
- You can use an egg rack to hard boil your eggs in the instant pot or you can gently lay them in your pot.
- Be sure to remove your eggs from the instant pot after 5 minutes on a natural release. Leaving them in longer will cause your eggs to become overcooked.
- It is best to use older eggs. If I know I am making deviled eggs I like to buy my eggs a week ahead of time and let them sit in the fridge.
- Peel your eggs right away after the 5-5-5. They will peel much easier for you. You can peel them and then store in the fridge in an airtight container until you are ready to make your Instant Pot deviled eggs.
- If you love paprika you can also sprinkle it on top of your deviled eggs for added color and flavor.
- If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can still hard boil them on the stove and then follow the rest of the directions for making deviled eggs.
- If you don’t want to spoon in the egg mixture you can also use a piping bag and tip to pipe it in.
Make ahead
You can make these Instant Pot deviled eggs up to two days ahead of time. Cut the eggs and take out the yolk. Place the egg whites in an airtight container in the fridge. Then mix the yolk mixture according to the directions. Store in an airtight container. Prior to serving, fill your egg whites with the mixture and serve.
