Hi Deborah – generally things cook more quickly in metal, so I would try reducing the cook time by a couple of minutes. You may want to test just a few in the bottom tier to determine the best time for you. Make sure your pressure cooker is completely cool before trying a second batch because it takes less time to come to pressure when your pressure cooker is warm, which will change the timing.

A great tip – thanks for sharing Dawn!

Thanks for sharing your tip about toasting your graham crackers Tracy! We also love the pans for mini cheesecakes https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/instant-pot-mini-cheesecake-bites/

mini cheesecakes are also delish….I bake the graham crust in a toaster over for 10 minutes prior to filling with cheesecake mixture for the IP as the crust then comes out with a bit of crunch

Hi Rose – 1/4 cup of meat is about right for a half recipe. You can use one or the either or both ham and bacon, whatever you prefer. 1 tray may cook a little faster, but it depends on how big your cups are and how full you fill the cups. You might want to start with 9 minutes.

It depends on the brand, some are and some aren’t. Covering the egg bites is not necessary, so you can omit the foil and lid if you prefer – covering slows down the cooking process.

What’s your favorite flavor combo?

Not true. The silicone cover IS indeed made to be used for cooking in the Instant Pot, as well as covering for storage, It is awesome because you can use it instead of foil for covering your egg bites… I do it all the time.
