Hi Maureen,
Thats a great question! There are lots of Instant Pot recipes for making all different types of Bone Broth (Chicken, Beef, Fish). The reason I recommend making it in the crock pot is because from the research I’ve read they say you need longer time at lower temperature to get all the nutrients and amino acids from the bones. Stay tuned for a Blog post on all the health benefits of Bone Broth 🙂
