Eggs are one of the most naturally compatible foods for anyone navigating the candida diet, and this pressure cooker method makes batch-cooking them almost effortless. The ingredient list is about as clean as it gets — just eggs, water, and an ice bath — so there's nothing hidden to second-guess. The Instant Pot locks in moisture during cooking, which means the whites stay tender instead of rubbery, and the yolks come out perfectly set without that grayish ring. The ice bath step is key: it stops the cooking immediately and makes peeling genuinely easy, especially when you start at the wider end where the air pocket gives you a natural entry point. Hard-boiled eggs are a brilliant staple to keep on hand for quick protein throughout the week, whether you're eating them plain, sliced over salad greens, or seasoned with a little sea salt. Cooking a full dozen at once means you're set up for several days of grab-and-go eating without any extra effort.

Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot insert. Place the trivet or steamer basket inside. Arrange the eggs in a single layer on the trivet — they can touch but should not be stacked.
Lock the lid and set the pressure-release valve to Sealing. Cook on Manual (High Pressure) for 5 minutes. While the eggs cook, fill a large bowl with cold water and a generous amount of ice.
