    This is about cooking eggs at various donenness levels, not just making hard boiled eggs. You would still need to pay attention to the time in an Instant Pot for that.

      Right. I’m using the term “hard-boiled” synonymously with just “boiled egg”

        It doesn’t work that way, though. And this doesn’t even refer to “a boiled egg”, it refers to boiling eggs.

          Barring pedantry, I don’t understand the difference you’re inferring

            The wording you have used so far suggests to me that, every time you boil eggs, you hard boil them. Not everybody does that. Some people soft or medium boil their eggs and variations in between.

            So boiling eggs is not the same as hard boiling eggs.

                You said you didn’t understand, so I explained. I didn’t realize you were being disingenuous.

                  I’m not being disingenuous. I think you’re just missing the fact that sometimes people use different terms to mean different things.

                  Ever heard someone call a water heater a “hot water heater”?
