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.

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.

David Chang said not to use plastic wrap in the microwave. I feel like this is the same.

silicone material is made of silicone (duh). It is very different from plastic Stick Out Tongue

Yeah me neither. I thought it was a cap and the handles went over my ears!

I have one of these and it works great and is easy to clean. Just make sure to join the handles together before putting the Instant Pot top on. I had a couple of times where the loose handles interfered with the unit reaching full pressure.

Is there any reason I couldn't just use the metal steamer basket I already have that's not specifically for Instant Pot?

For making broth, are you then submerging this into the water also so that the bones/carcass is submerged?

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.
I've replaced my gasket a few times due to odor retention (I've used instant pot for 10+ years). I'm not questioning safety, but to cook on soft, absorbable material seems odd to me due to odor/flavor retention.

Will also pass for the this reason. Unfortunately, it's hard to avoid plastics and silicones these days...
This is no criticism... You should do whatever makes you comfortable, but it makes little sense to equate plastic and silicone, especially food grade silicone.

I have not had a problem removing odors, but perhaps Martha Stewart can help you out. https://www.marthastewart.com/819...king-trays

The smell of your silicon gasket lid should tell you already that this will trap some smells. Whether it bothers you or not is a different question.
