Delicious roasts for the slow cooker or Instant Pot. I like to cook my pot roast in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot to make it tender. If you use a slow cooker be sure to submerge it in liquid so that it does not dry out. Here is my favorite recipe:
Ingredients:
3 lb pot roast (chuck, shoulder, clod roast)
1-2 cups of water
pinch of salt, pepper and garlic
onion
Vegetables
3 carrots
1 rutabaga
2 parsnips
2 sweet potatoes
- Pour in water, add the roast, add the quartered onion or whole garlic cloves, and seal the lid.
- Bring the cooker up to full pressure. Reduce heat to low, maintaining full pressure, and cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Use the quick-release method to lower the pressure.
- Mix in vegetables, seal the lid again and return the pressure cooker to heat.
- Bring the cooker up to full pressure and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Use the quick-release method again and transfer the roast and vegetables to a serving dish.
