I am so happy to read this. Thanks for the feedback.
It looks great. I am a Instant Pot Newbie and am wondering what your opinion would be if I used only 3 eggs, how much time would it take?
Thank you. It won't have the height if you use 3 eggs unless you use a smaller pan. I haven't tried with 3 eggs yet so not sure about the timing.
