Place as many eggs as will fit on the trivet so none are touching the bottom (or only one if that's all you need.) I have fixed a dozen eggs at one time this way.
Two cups of water in bottom of pot
Cook on steam for five minutes
Have a bowl of water with ice available
After when instant pot times dings turn off the instant pot and let eggs stay for another five minutes
Remove eggs to the bowl of ice water and let them stay for five minutes.

Never had a problem with peeling any eggs I have prepared using this method. Always peel them under running tap water.
