Why are my Instant Pot hard-boiled eggs brown?
Brown spots developing on the shell or in the white of a hard-boiled egg is an indication of overcooking, usually as the result of insufficient water for steaming, or overexposure to a direct heat source. This is why using a suspending insert like an egg rack or steamer basket is most recommended, to prevent the eggs from coming in direct contact with the bottom or sides of the Instant Pot.
