By release steam, do you mean manually or natural? Or does it matter! 🙂 Thanks

I see you’re using a round pot, mine is oval shaped, a little larger than the one pictured…does that affect how many eggs I can use or how much water I need??
Becca says
I don’t believe so. Any electric pressure cooker will require at least 1 cup of water.

Hi all. Getting a little frustrated with my new instant pot. I LOVE that people are taking the time to post recipes and go through all the trial and error to get it just right for us, however, I am new to this and need explicit instructions! When you say set to manual for five minutes — manual What???? high pressure, low pressure, steam? Kindly be more specific for us newbies and thanks again!
