I put the eggs on the trivet and used canning lids to separate my eggs so that they wouldn't bump into each other (see the picture).
This way you can do several at a time - could probably have fit more if I put them in between the canning lids. I put 1 cup of water in cooker and pressured them on low for 6 minutes. I let the pressure go down naturally. And then immediately took the eggs out and soaked them in cold water to stop the cooking. Perfect! And a lot easier to crack than the ones you make on the stove.

*This method for cooking
hard boiled eggs in the pressure cooker is so much easier than the stove top. It's quick and efficient, you don't have to worry about water boiling over, and the result is perfect hard-boiled eggs every time!
*Note: In my 6 quart Cuisnart Electric pressure cooker I can cook up to 10 eggs at once
INGREDIENTS:
Eggs
EQUIPMENT:
Electric pressure cooker with
metal trivet
1- 5 small canning lids
DIRECTIONS:
First
place the trivet in the bottom of the pressure cooker. Next add about a cup of
water. Place the canning lids on the bottom and arrange the eggs in and around
the lids. Heat up the pressure cooker until it reaches low pressure and then
cook for 6 minutes. Allow the pressure to go down naturally and then
immediately remove the eggs and cool them in ice water to stop the cooking
process. When they are cool, the eggs will crack with ease, look beautiful, and
taste perfect every time!

I HAVE THE CUISINART 6 QT ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER. HOW DO YOU LET THE PRESSURE COME UP TO LOW BEFORE SETTING THE TIMER TO 6 MINUTES?
Hi Susan,
You first press the menu button until "low pressure" is lit up. Then you increase the time until it says 6 minutes, then hit "start".
Good luck!
Hi there -
Thanks for your instructions. As usual, I don't pay attention to all the details. I know from my early years in 1970's vintage home economics classes that eggs would hard cook 'touching each other' in a regular pot on the stove just fine, never exploding on me (the microwave - well, never happened to me, but my family has a hilarious story about my dad and an egg grenade that went off all over the dining room... he got to clean that one up!!). So I didn't want to fuss with trying to round up a dozen canning jar lids (or as another blogger found out, a metal olive oil bottle lid - with the plastic insert removed) to keep the eggs apart. They cooked just fine in the instant pot on my stainless steel veggie steamer insert. So I just kinda wanted to reassure any reading this that the canning lid idea is a great one, but not to worry if you don't have them. To be clear, I don't just chuck the eggs in the pot. I lay them carefully next to each other on the steamer rack. I suppose if you already had a hairline fracture in the egg, it might not do too well under pressure. So far, I haven't had that happen. Yet. (stand by for news if that changes?!).
Hi there, I've discovered on Amazon.com a new gadget for cooking eggs in Pressure cooker. It's EggAssist. You can put EggAssist on the trivet to separate your eggs so that they wouldn't bump into each other or use EggAssit without trivet. I works perfectly!!!
