For anyone managing oral allergy syndrome, eggs are one of those genuinely safe, satisfying proteins that never cause a second thought. This pressure cooker method takes all the guesswork out of hard-boiling, delivering consistently cooked eggs with yolks that hit that perfect just-set texture every single time. The ice bath step is non-negotiable — it stops the cooking immediately and makes peeling almost effortless, especially when you start at the wider end where the air pocket gives you a natural head start. With only water and eggs involved, there are no hidden plant proteins, raw fruit residues, or cross-reactive ingredients to worry about anywhere in the process. Batch a full dozen at once and you've got a week's worth of easy snacks, protein-packed salad toppers, or quick breakfast fuel ready to go in the fridge. It's the kind of simple, reliable recipe that earns a permanent spot in your weekly routine.

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.
