Boiled (but not boiled) eggs

Instant Pot is a pressure cooker.  3 minutes is for hard boiled.

Pressure cooker, as sumpnz said.  With the instant pot you have to account for that the 3 minutes starts when pressure is reached.  So you have to account for the warm up at the beginning, and at least some cooling time, while the 3 minutes is also at a hotter temperature then plain boiling water can achieve.

I use 3 minutes, the pot isn't quite large enough for a dozen eggs to be all at the same level.  Works great.
