Yes! This method is the same across all brands of electric pressure cookers.

Does this method prevent the green ring around the yolk?

Yes, because the eggs get put in an ice bath before peeling. This helps prevent the green ring around the egg yolks.

While eggs have been vilified in the past due to their cholesterol content, eggs are actually very healthy and part of a balanced diet. One egg contains about 70 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 5 grams of fat and 0.4 grams of carbs. Eating a protein-rich snack is one of my tips for dealing with sugar cravings .

Can I cook eggs without the trivet?

If you don't have a trivet or steamer basket for your Instant Pot, you can use several pieces of aluminum foil to make a square rest to hold your eggs out of the water. You may need to scrunch up or fold several pieces to elevate the eggs out of the water (so they don't get overcooked in the bottom of the Instant Pot).
