Notes

  1. 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.
  2. 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. 
Storing Hard Boiled Eggs: You can store hard boiled eggs (peeled or unpeeled) in the refrigerator for a week. However, avoid keeping hard boiled eggs at room temperature for too long before refrigerating them.
