How do you keep the eggs from sticking to the bottom of the pot?

Even cooking with bacon grease, the eggs still stick.

It's a real pain to clean.

Sorry, but why would you use an Instant Pot to scramble eggs? Hard boiled, yes, but not scrambled. I imagine it would be like using any other stainless steel pan to clean, which is why I use a small pan on the stove to scramble eggs. Were you making a large amount?

Lisa,

I don't use a stove anymore.  ALL my cooking is done in my Instant Pots.  I have all 3 sizes; 8 Qt, 6 Qt and 3 Qt.

only  thing I could think of if you had another pan that you could put down in the original pot. Might be to much heat laying right on the stainless steel pot.

@RinaRina - Do you have a microwave? You can use that to make scrambled eggs pretty easily. I have to agree with the other comments here that an Instant Pot is not going to be a very good option for scrambled eggs. Good luck, though...

I have never made scrambled eggs, but I do make quiche in my instant pot, and it comes out perfect. I don't have a pan that fits inside, so I make one with foil first then parchment paper. You could make scrambled eggs like this too. I just pull the foil out and my pot is clean. I have done this using the pressure cooker, and the slow cooker.

So, if you have no stove, then I would agree with the suggestion to make them in the microwave. You can make them in a mug. But again, I am not sure that the Instant Pot is a good option for EVERYTHING. Good luck!

I don’t think an InstantPot provides enough temperature control to successfully make scrambled eggs. Mine anyway, would be too hot.

I think making scrambled eggs in an Instant Pot would be fine if the pot has a saute feature. Only downside is that the pot is stainless steel without a non-stick coating so eggs would probably stick without a sea of grease. 

Have you tried a cooking spray like Pam?

Another thought. I've heard that scrambled eggs made in a double-boiler are creamy and heavenly, although they take some time to cook. You could do something like that in an Instant Pot. Put some water in the pot along with the rack. Get the water to boil with the saute feature. Put your scrambled egg mixture in an IP-safe bowl and place the bowl on the rack above the boiling water. It's something to try. 

Am presently up late cooking a shredded beef roast in my Instant Pot for a relaxing Sunday dinner.
