    Ninja Foodi Hard-Boiled Eggs

    If you have an Instant Pot or a Ninja Foodi, you most likely have heard of the 5-5-5 Method. But you might not have tried it yet, or know what it's all about. If you're new to the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot, definitely take a few minutes to read through the tips here. They will help you achieve perfect hard-boiled eggs every time!

    What is the 5-5-5 Method?

    The 5-5-5 Method is simple, and is as follows:

    1. FIVE minutes of pressure cooking
    2. FIVE minutes of natural release
    3. FIVE minutes in an ice bath

    That's it. So easy, but it makes a BIG difference!

    How to hard-boil eggs using the 5-5-5 Method in the Ninja Foodi

    Here's exactly how I achieve perfect hard-boiled eggs every time.

    • Place eggs on the rack in the Ninja Foodi pot
    • Ninja Foodi pressure cook HI 5 minutes
      Pressure Cook on HI for 5 minutes, then natural release for 5 minutes
    1. Place a rack into the Ninja Foodi pot. Pour in one cup of water.
    2. Place the eggs carefully onto the rack, giving them some space in-between.
    3. Secure the pressure lid, making sure the pressure release valve is in the Seal position.
    4. Select Pressure Cook, set the temperature to HI, set the time to 5 minutes. Select Start/Stop to begin. If you have a Ninja Foodi 6.5 quart, it will take approximately 7 minutes to come to pressure. If you have a Ninja Foodi 8-quart, it will take approximately 10 minutes to come to pressure.
    5. When cooking is complete, allow for natural release for 5 minutes.
    6. At the end of 5 minutes, switch the valve over to Vent for quick release. During this time, while all remaining pressure is venting from the Nija Foodi, create the ice bath. Add equal parts ice and cold water to a large bowl. Set aside.

    • hard boiled eggs in an ice bath
      Allow eggs to sit in the ice bath for 5 minutes
    • peeled hard boiled eggs
      Immediately peel the eggs, then eat or store in the refrigerator

    7. When all pressure is released and the valve is all the way down, carefully twist the lid open. Use oven mitts to carefully lift the rack with eggs out – or use tongs or an oven mitt to lift the eggs out one by one.
    8. Immediately and gently place the eggs into the prepared ice bath. Allow them to sit in the ice bath for 5 minutes.
    9.When 5 minutes is up, peel the eggs.

    Ninja Foodi Hard Boiled Eggs FAQ

    Hard boiled eggs one cut open on a baking sheet
    What does an ice bath do to hard-boiled eggs?

    Placing hard-boiled eggs immediately into an ice bath does three things. First, it stops the cooking process, which helps ensure your eggs aren't overdone. Second, the ice bath helps separate the egg from the shell. This is why this method makes peeling eggs so much easier! Third, because the ice bath stops the cooking process at the right time, it helps you avoid the dreaded green ring around your eggs that you can get from overcooked eggs.

    How many eggs can I put in the Ninja Foodi or Instant Pot at one time?

    Almost as many as you'd like! Without going overboard, that is. I've cooked as few as three eggs and as many as nine eggs at one time using this method.

    If I use more eggs, do I need to adjust the cooking times?

    Nope. In my experience, all of the times can remain exactly the same.

    If I use more eggs, do I need to add more water?

    I've cooked as many as nine eggs at one time using one cup of water. If you are cooking a dozen or more eggs, you might want to add a half cup. So try one and a half cups of water for 12 or more eggs.

    How do you store hard-boiled eggs?

    Allow the eggs to cool completely. Then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. eggs in a storage container

    Notes

    How to store hard-boiled eggs: allow eggs to cool to room temperature. Place eggs in an airtight food-safe container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. 
    How to achieve soft-boiled eggs: instead of allowing the eggs to pressure cook for 5 minutes, lower the time to 3 minutes, and 3 minutes in the ice bath.
