PERFECT Soft Boiled Eggs - Instant Pot 

Perfect. Thank You! My soft boiled eggs came out Perfect. 18 eggs, one cup of water. 3 minutes on low pressure, quick release, remove eggs and placed into a very cold water bath for 1 minute. Perfect. Perfect. Perfect. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Now this is my idea of a perfectly cooked egg! The yolk is slightly cooked and the middle is oozing. Add a little salt & pepper... Mmmm... Perfect!

I came across this video by accident and glad I did. I've tried every which way to make soft boiled or poached eggs in the IP and they never turn out runny. I chalk it up to a sensitive pot because not even low pressure at 0 mins. worked for me, no matter which type of vessel I used (eg. ramekins). This is the first time I've seen them done in the shell and had to try it. MARVELOUS! Thanks for sharing.

Oooh yes, I'm eating my egg right now. It's the first thing I've made in my instant pot. Instant success! Perfection! Just how I love it!

I would have liked to see completely soft eggs and hard egg cooking times. Always love your videos.

I tried 3. It was just more runny then I waned but. Better than hard boiled egg. I will try 4 min on low with natural release with 3 min low. This is so simple but has improved my breakfast. I miss having boiled eggs in the morning because it’s so hard to peel and takes so much time. This is the best. The best for real

Yay!! You made me so happy with this video, I've been using high pressure for 5 minutes! I will definitely be doing low pressure for 3 minutes from now on!! Thanks, girlie!! Love all your videos!! Xo😊

My first soft boiled egg. Never will go back to dry hard boiled again! Thank you so much!

That egg looks just beautiful. Perfect. Thank you. I will try soon.

You are a Super teacher ! Because of following your soft boiled egg recipe in Instant Pot there are No reasons on why I can't have that everyday ! And by the way, shells came off perfectly 👌!

Perfect egg the way I also like them. I never thought you could do eggs in the cooker. So I look forward to trying it out. Thanks

So just found the channel a couple of days ago and have been on a marathon. I love everything so far. I just felt the need to comment on something. You said you don't always have ice made. That is such an alien concept to me. It really does demonstrate difference between latitudes in this case/cultures/economic stature. Here in Texas I always joke that we have our obligatory 2 weeks of winter. Can't imagine not having both ice makers working all year. I hope you keep up the videos. May God's blessings be on you and your family.

I literally JUST made this, and it came out PERFECT! Easily peeled and the yolk is just like yours - perfect for my ramen dishes; thank you so much!

Just made these! Like you, I don’t like hard boiled eggs. This worked out so good

Love all ur IP videos. Pls keep em coming. Not sure if u've done one yet but if not, can u do a vid on the "Starbucks egg bites" pls. A healthy & tasty vegetarian & meat version. Thax u

Thanks...just got an Instant Pot for Father's Day...wanted to make quick soft boiled eggs to go with my Ramen Noodles...see you

I've been making eggs for 3 days! Trying to make a soft boiled or poached egg. They NEVER come out right! I watched your video with a smirk on my face - talking to my iPad and finally say OH YEAH, I betchya a nickel that DONT WORK. In fact, I'll prove it!!!!! I got out of bed at 2AM went to the kitchen, took an egg out of the fridge, put exactly 1 cup of sink water in the IP, set it for 3 minutes on LOW (who uses LOW? LOW IS FOR GIRLS, GUYS DON'T DO LOW) and stood there and waited for it to finish. When it beeped, I took it out and put it in a bowl of cold water from the refrigerator, I did not even put ice cubes in it, because I was sure this was not going to work. God as my witness, my egg looked just like yours. NO LOSE WHITES AND A RUNNY YOLK. Nothing gross, just an exquisite perfect egg. OMG, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks. Who the hell uses LOW - seriously for real??? But at 2:15am I made just the egg I have been craving for years. Whoever the man is in this video MARRY THAT GIRL!!! Thank you - and thumbs up 👍👍👍

Thanks for the informative and fun to watch video. What is the benefit of low pressure vs high pressure for eggs? With high pressure, will the egg whites be more or less firm? With the newer instant pot egg setting, I think that it cooks for 3 minutes on high pressure for soft boiled eggs.

Omg I’ve just done this with 2 eggs and some mushrooms and plenty of salt/pepper. Perfect! I would’ve took a picture but they were gone very quick as usual before I even think of taking a picture of food 😂🤣 thank you, I’ll never use the saucepan again for boiled eggs!

Exactly the way we like our eggs, we use the little 3 quart Instant Pot for these almost daily now.

Need to try your method because I learned and do the STEAM program for 6 min for hard boiled eggs and 3 min for soft boiled eggs. Can you explain the difference about these programs. Seems they do the same job. By the way I love your recipes. Thank you.

Just made this and it came out perfect just like the video explained!! Ty!!!!

New to pressure cooking, when you say 3 minutes on low is that once it has come to pressure or 3 minutes in total, hope that's makes sense and love your videos. Kay

Of the eight or nine thousand "Instantpotters" who have flocked to the center of the universe cooking everything but full grown moose in their pots, we like Flo the best. She is most charming and a great cook.

I have an egg steamer. When doing it that way you have to poke a small hole in the egg. Your method with the Instant Pot works great. I used a 3 quart IP. Thanks for the video.

Hi Flo, to peel eggs just put your eggs in a small plastic container with a lid and shake and I have found it works well

Good morning, watch you on May 19, 23. Thank you for all your tips, recipes, good talks n sharing your families life. Been watching for about of year and enjoy all you all present. lol! love Dude n his presence, he cracks me up!😊😊🤓

my mother used to make soft boiled eggs with butter for me. i hope this works for me. i make hard boiled eggs in pr cooker often, but now you taught me soft. thanks

Good job! Well done! Next time try adding 1 or 2 Tbsp of white vinegar to the water to steam that will help to soften the shell and make it even easier to peel off the egg!

Thank you for sharing a lot of my favorite recipes over the years. I love truth and food. Imagine a warm hug from across the universe (beatles song reference)

OMG .......... they are perfect! Hubby loves soft boiled eggs. Thank-you so much!

Thank you Flo, I just made some boiled eggs in my pressure cooker (it's a different brand than yours). My time I did 4 minutes and let sit for 5 minutes, as I did 14 eggs, turned out great no cracked one either, but next time will lower the cook time to 2 minutes, and sit for 3-4 minutes! Thanks for sharing your video's with us...! Very much appreciated.

i find 1 min high press the same result. Also when i hear the pressure pin jumping but not fully seated I just press down on the cover and the pin will pop into place everytime that save me a few mins .

Thanks for the video! I've tried boiling eggs every which way and have never been able to make soft boiled eggs easy to peel. I'm going to give this a try.

These directions worked for me! I am so happy!

I make a salad I call my "oh la la" it's just a pretty little Boston lettuce type salad topped with a poached egg. I've started doing it with this egg. I love the perfection of the shape, cut the long way with the egg yolk oozing out to enrich the dressing. And it easier to do instant pot egg than on the stove top

I love this smart instant pot video! I think I'll buy one! Questions: why do you own any other pots and pans? I'm moving into a tiny house and I need to drastically simplify cooking...If I do not eat rice or noodles or any side carb...I thought this appliance and maybe an enamel cast iron pan would be enough. what are your thoughts?

Made this eggs today and it works perfetly!! Thanks for sharing!

Really enjoying your videos. How many Instant pots do you own? I'm blind and I heard somebody else on a different channel show how to use her instant pot so, I bought one and I'm not having any troubles using it in fact it's my favorite equipment in the kitchen!

yes it was a perfect soft boiled egg. loved it. thank you

this will go well with the congee recipe. thanks

Thank you for helping me get acquainted and brave with my Instant Pot!

I like my yoke a little more runny. How long should the cooķ8ng time be? I love your vedios. Your directions are very clear and easy ro follow

Don’t have that kind of pot but 1/2 inch boiling water put eggs and cover for 6:30 minutes and drain then bathe in cold water...it’s perfect!!!

Beautiful eggs!

Perfect video. I will have my breakfast tomorrow, and finally have eggs the way I like! Thank you Flo Lum.

Great vid. Followed instructions you gave and eggs were perfect. Thank you. Got my Instant Pot last week so if you have any other good receipes with it please share 😉

Thank you! I’ll be eating more soft-boiled eggs.

Yep those eggs are perfect. I like them a little cooked around the edges too so you dont have that raw slimy part.

I just did these in my ninja foodi, high pressure for 2 minutes, then ice bath. Came out perfect. I’ll never boil an egg again :)

I'll have to try these...thank you! x

Looks perfect to me, Thanks for the video. Please ignore the nickname and file photo.

Flo, been watching your easy to understand Instant Pot videos. You explain recipes very well. Came here to ask an egg question, and found out you don't like hard boiled eggs! Oh well, will ask anyway. Wanted to find a Chinese Tea Egg recipe converted to the IP, but haven't found one that uses the IP for the egg in sauce simmer phase which normally takes 3 hours for infusion. have you ever considered doing this?

were the eggs at room temperature before cooking ?

My husband did that! He has had to take over the cooking since I have had to let him do the cooking.

Just made this amazing recipe this morning for my lovely Bride 👰. She loved them. Success (I kept waiting for her to look up like Dude after eating them)

Love your Soft Boil recipe.....

I love soft boiled eggs over noodles, thanks for sharing

Works great.

Can you stacj 2 layers or even 3 layers of eggs to cook in the pot, un order to save time to cook for a party?

Totally agree, even my dog prefers soft boiled eggs to hard boiled.

Have you considered partnering with a company like Blue Apron to put together ingredient kits for the pressure cooker? I would definitely be interested in such a product!

Wow... I have two electric pressure cookers (love them!) but I've never seen one which can be controlled by phone app! Looks awesome

Thank you!

Thanks! Please demonstrate more east, vegetarian recipes. Loved the soft-boiled eggs recipe!

That really is quick and easy and is "the perfect" soft boiled egg. NB : the fresher the egg, the more difficult it is to peel. What makes it somewhat easier is to effectively cold shock it for a minute or so. Unfortunately, I do not have an Instant Pot. I have an AirFryer instead where I am still discovering the best remedy for the perfect soft boiled egg. - somewhere in the vicinity of, 130 °C x 10 -11 mins. Not really comparable with 3 mins of the Instant Pot, is it?

Do I need to add more time if I cook twice as much eggs at the same time?

I am trying this as we speak. Thank you.💜

Well...it didn’t work out for me. The shell was so difficult to peel, the eggs split when I cracked the shell, and the whites were still a bit runny. I’m gonna stick the remaining few unpeeled eggs back in to see if it will be better when I cook them a bit more.

Thank you for sharing with your recipe 🙏🏻👍

I hate hard eggs yuk ,I luv my yolk ronnie in fried .soft boiled and soft scrambled .ty I like my white done now.

Were the eggs supposed to be at room temperature? if they come straight from the fridge, any adjustments in that case?

hello Flo Lum I recently came across your site and love the recipes that you offer and how you explain them. Thank you. most importantly I am a NEW fan of the insta pot as well as soft boiled eggs .... love love love! any way I am here for some hope and help..... I tried your method on the new model 10-1 ultra ..... bought especially for the egg feature. anyway I found that I had to up the time to 4 min. wasn't sure if you let it warm for a min or not so I did. that is now 5 min. and they were perfect!!! now I am doing the same as yesterday but have now lost two batches... came out watery and but yoke soft yet intact .... like a water balloon. any advice??? do my eggs need to be room temp? they were not yesterday. Thank you in advance for your attention in this matter.

Pulled Instant Pot out ! Tried the soft egg but did something wrong. Happed to like hard boiled egg and they were perfect. Tomorrow will try again soft egg again.

Perfecto! Jim

Making these right now thks

I don't have egg setting. Just use pressure cook option?

hi Flo, I tried a different recipe (by time) and it was done okay but the shells were very hard to peel off? have you made poached eggs in the Instantpot?

What app are you using on your phone to run your InstantPot?

Flo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Did your soft boiled eggs, oh my gosh ,came out sooooo good.That was a real game ganger for Soft boil eggs . Ruth ❤Thank YOU !!! I am going to buy all your Cook Books !! Hi Dude,good job with Camera 👍👍❤️

Mr Flo is a lucky man.

Perfect!! Thank you

I noticed that you have both Instant Pots plugged in to the same wall receptacle. Do you have issues with circuit breakers tripping ??

So how long to make them hardboiled? Soft is not always appropriate. Thanks!

How to get the same result with a pressure cooker which doesn't have a low pressure setting, only high pressure?

Perfect Wow

Flo can you give us a video on making perfect poached eggs in the IP? I have tried three times and each time I get a different result. I started with 1 min high pressure then qr. they were the only ones with the whites set and yolks still runny. I tried making them again the next day and the whites were still jelly at 1 min. Then I tried three min. Does it effect cooking time cold water vs hot water to create the steam?

Did you cook these on low, medium or high pressure?

Ours came out runny and hard to peel... We put them in on low pressure for 3 minutes. Right when it was done, we vented the pressure and put them in ice water. Not sure what we did wrong. Should we leave the eggs in there for a while before releasing the pressure?

Yummy!

Perfect!

Wonderful job! 😊

I made this today in my instant pot mini, but the yolk ist hard... i set it on low pressure, but on what do i have to set it low, normal or high? 🤔

What app did you use for this?

Just did soft boiled eggs the way you said and it didn’t work. The two eggs I cracked and tried to peel had the eggs and shell come off together. It was a ness. I had to through the two eggs out, but wil boil the other two eggs in the pan.

I don't have a posh pot only a duo 60 so will the time be the same please as your eggs look good

I don't get it. Did it exactly like you in the video. Except I own the Instant Pot IP-DUO60. I've poured a cup of tap water into the inner pot, inserted the metal rack, and on top of the rack put 6 eggs from the fridge. Set up for 3 minutes low pressure (manual mode), closed the lid and set the valve to into "sealing". After the timer went trough I released the steam and took one egg out. It was very hot, but I peeled it anyway out of curiosity, it was still liquid. What went wrong ?

There is an APP YOU CAN USE TO START IT???

Flo, I tried your recipe for the soft boiled egg in an IP doing exactly as you directed. Failure! The egg white was cooked, the yoke was raw!

Awesome!...Keep it up please!!!
