You can make hard boiled eggs using fresh eggs with or without an Instant Pot. However, they can be hard to peel when you use fresh eggs, the instant pot seems to be a little better.
Stovetop:
Cover the eggs with water and bring to a boil. Ten minutes at a rolling boil, then pour off as much water as you can without burning yourself! Add icy cold water to cover eggs. Swish them around, adding more ice or cold water to get the eggs cooled quickly. Peel once they are cool.
Instant Pot:
I use the 5-5-5 method for the Instant Pot, it is easier to remember that way. Using the rack, you can put as many eggs in without going past the max line. Add 1 to 2 cups of water and pressure cook on high for 5 minutes. Be sure the relief valve is closed. Let the pressure release on its own for 5 minutes. Then, using a wooden spoon or meat fork, release the remaining pressure. Carefully put the eggs into a bowl of icy water, they will be hot, you may want to use tongs. When completely cooled, they will peel easily.
Enjoy!
