How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in Mealthy Multipot
- Plug in the Multipot, and pour 1.5 cups of water in the inner pot. And it’s best to use really cold water for this, as the temperature of water determines how much time the Multipot takes to come to pressure, which in this case, means a few minutes of additional cooking time.
- Then place the trivet in the pot, and the eggs on the trivet.
- I have used 6 eggs, but you can follow the same exact method / timings, and use the same quantity of water for boiling anywhere from 4-12 eggs. If you need more than 12 eggs, it’s best to start a new batch.
- Also, I have simply placed the eggs side by side on the trivet, but if you are using a larger quantity of eggs, you can stack them, one above the other, and that’ll be fine. Alternatively, you can use a pressure cooker egg stacker like this one.
- Once the eggs are in, close the Multipot lid, and ensure it’s sealed.
- Then press the pressure cook button, select pressure level high, time to be 5 minutes, and pressure release style to be natural.
- The Multipot will preheat for a few minutes, after which the 5 minute cooking cycle will begin.
- Once the cooking cycle is complete, wait for 5 minutes before manually releasing all the pressure from the pot, and open the lid.
- Then remove the eggs from the pot, and transfer them directly to an ice-bath for 5 minutes. This is important to stop the cooking process, and not have overcooked boiled eggs.
- Once the eggs have cooled down, start peeling them.
- Perfect, easy peel hard boiled eggs are ready.
- Cut & serve them as is, by sprinkling on a little salt and pepper on them, or use them in other dishes like Egg Biryani or Anda Curry.

Notes
- This is not absolutely essential, but it’s best to use 1.5 cups of really COLD water. Because the quantity and temperature of water will determine how much time the Multipot takes to come to pressure. And this time is used to cook the eggs.
- This recipe uses 6 eggs, but you can follow the same exact timings (and use the same quantity of water) if you are hard boiling anywhere from 4-12 eggs. Though if you are using more than 6 eggs, you might need to stack them up one over the other, which is totally fine. Or just use an egg stacker like this one to make stacking eggs totally hassle free. If you need to boil more than 12 eggs at a time, it’s best to start another batch.
