Use this all the time in the instant pot, very handy for eggs, removing bones/veg from broth, or any other preparation that you want to elevate above the liquid or separate the solids from the liquid. Much easier to clean than a metal mesh.

Yup this one is made specifically to work in a pressure cooker (instant pot), the handles are for pulling it out when hot. I use mine mainly for frozen veggies.

What time are you using for the eggs? Also what ratio of bones to water do you use for broth? Thanks!

Seems like this would absorb a lot of flavors/odors and pass them onto the next batch of food. I just use the stainless steel baskets.

For eggs, 7 min fast release or 5 with slow release, then ice bath for either. it can vary a bit depending on how many eggs you do.
Yes, some will say that is no faster than stovetop, but I tend to do a dozen at a time and instant pot handles the temp and time with easily replicated results so the time I personally spend is less even if cook time isn't much different.

For broth I typically make chicken from rotisserie chicken carcass, throw it all in with some onion, celery, and carrot scraps, a little salt and pepper, maybe some garlic pieces, then typically nearly cover the parts with water but not totally submerged, cook for max time ( 90 min I think ) slow release and even longer cool down.

Generally not much fat to remove, can do it after cooling if you prefer, I use a fine mesh sieve to catch the bits that floated around the colander.

The broth is much richer than store bought and will tell when cooled in the fridge, like chicken jello.

Have used mine for a couple years with some pretty smelly foods, including sulfur odor from brassicas like cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower, even a bad egg or two that was older than I thought that made a smelly mess when it exploded. No staining, no lingering smells or flavors, no breaking down of the material, and no rust or bits of food stuck like in my fine metal mesh version.

Keep in mind silicone is used for the seal on the instant pot and many other high temperature situations needing gaskets and seals, also silicone is used in other high high temperature cooking applications including spatulas for skillet use, silicone baking molds, "silipat" baking sheets, and silicone coated parchment paper.

Choose whatever works best for you though.
