Hard Boiled eggs will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week if they remain unpeeled. Longer than that can make them difficult to peel. However, make sure to set a timer and remove them from the ice bath as soon as the 5 minutes is up. The reason we transfer the hard boiled eggs to an ice bath after cooking them is to prevent the green ring from forming around the yolk. It is more likely to move to the sides, making it more likely that the white will tear when you are preparing the deviled eggs. As the egg ages, the strands that hold the yolk in the middle of the egg weaken. If you plan on making deviled eggs, you want fresher eggs. The exception to the old egg rule is deviled eggs. Thus, an older egg that is hard boiled is easier to peel. The longer an egg sits, the more the membrane separates from the sides of the shell. When you are making hard boiled eggs – whether in the Instant Pot or not – it is best to start with older eggs. Transfer to Ice Water: Using tongs, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water.Once the float valve drops (after about 7 minutes), you can open the Instant Pot. Use Natural Pressure Release: Once the Instant Pot has come to pressure and counted down the 5 minutes, you will let it release it’s pressure on it’s own.
