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.

I usually brown my bones for 30 minutes at 350...gives the broth a big boost in flavor...some fresh thyme from a plant I have...some bay leaves along with celery and carrot, minced garlic....some apple cider vinegar (which helps extract minerals from the bones) and typically 1 chicken carcas with water to top it off to top of 6 quart and cooked in SLOW COOKER mode for 12 hours works fantastic...I found it to be much richer than just doing pressure cooker mode...it breaks down all the cartilage and indeed is much better than store purchased. I purchased a 10 lb leg quarter bag and have been roasting them in air fryer and saving the bones..I now have right at 2lbs of chicken bones which I think ought to be enough to make 6 quarts of broth. The broth is fantastic to make rice with.
My main use, stream the veggies like carrot, broccoli, potatoes and few other also for frozen veggies. So what's the process, I need to fill the instapot with the water and submerge this by placing the veggies in it?
