I do mine on low pressure for 6-7 minutes. 6 is good but I like to make sure mine are done. Best to have them room temp as if they go in cold they tend to be more apt to crack open. It's the only way I do hard boiled eggs.

Do you have to poke a pin hole in them?

I think on Sunday Merideth suggested as a "rule" on pressure cooking

Add 1 cup of liquid

Use 1/3 the cooking time

Hey....try one egg !

Yes, punch a hole on the bottom side. Otherwise the egg explodes.

Sorry to be a pain but the pressure cooker that i have (the one that was a today special value doesn't have a low pressure setting).How do I do the eggs with this one? Thanks so much every one!

I cook mine for 6 minutes on high in a steamer basket and do the quick release. Enough water to come up to the bottom of the steamer. You can also cook your cubed potatoes for potato salad at the same time. Do not poke a hole in the egg! They will not burst.

I use the Hip Pressure Cooking method: 5 min on low, then natural release for 5 min and quick release. I don't poke a hole in them. I put them in a steamer basket with 1cup of water and put them in ice water when they're done.

Are they easy to peel? I've been steaming mine for the past few years because of that feature.

@charlie dog By chance, do you have a Ninja 3-in-1 or 4-in-1? You can do "boiled" eggs in there. In reality, they're steamed. I can't believe I can make 2 dozen eggs at once and they're perfect - cooked through, a beautiful colored yolk, no green ring, and easy to peel!

I realized that, since that was how your posted your question. I was just making an alternate suggestion, if you might have had the Ninja, too.

Never thought about making hard boiled eggs in the pressure cooker. I bought one of those egg cookers. The eggs are so easy to peel using this gadget.

An update .I put my pressure cooker setting to veg and fish which is 5 minutes than I put fresh eggs from my girls in. Let the stream release naturally for one minute.Put eggs in cold bath.SUPER! Never had fresh eggs that peeled before! This pressure cooker is worth buying if only you had fresh eggs to do. Farm fresh egg are almost impossible to do. THANKS EVERYONE
