Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs

With Easter coming this week, a lot of us will be hard boiling eggs.  I tried making hard boiled eggs in my Instant Pot and I will never go back to the old way again.

The recipe I used was from Taste of Home magazine which used the 5-5-5 method.  Five minutes pressure cook, five minutes release and five minutes to cool.  The eggs came out perfect.  Never has hard boiling eggs been easier.
