6 Ways to Use Your Instant Pot Egg Mold

Out of all the Instant Pot accessories out there, I believe the egg mold is on the must have list. The egg mold is one of my favorites because I can use it for so many different types of recipes. Not only do I like the many great options, I love how it creates bite sized portions. With these small portions, it makes breakfast on the go or meal prepping super convenient and easy.

Commonly Asked Questions

Can I put two egg molds in the Instant Pot?

You bet! You can stack the egg molds right on top of one another and cook time will stay the same. Whether you are using one or two egg molds, always make sure you are stacking it on the metal trivet and not directly on the bottom of the Instant Pot.

Do I need to spray the egg molds?

It definitely helps. I have tried a couple different recipes with and without spray. Some recipes produce its own oils that helps the item slide out, however most don’t. To be safe, a light spray of Pam, oil spray or a rub of butter will avoid any issues.

Do I need to cover the egg molds?

Not all recipes require you to cover the mold, but most of them do. So far the only thing I don’t mind making without a cover are No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs. Since the eggs are steaming, almost as if they are getting poached in water, leaving it uncovered won’t affect the eggs. Covering the mold is important for things you don’t want getting wet while it cooks. If your egg mold didn’t come with a silicone lid, you can use tin foil to cover it.

Can I use any silicone molds?

Absolutely! Any bakeware silicone mold that fits into the Instant Pot will work. You can even use freezer silicone ice molds in the Instant Pot as well!
