instant pot chuck roast
Ingredients
  • STOP OVERCOOKING YOUR POT ROASTS!
  • It doesn't take an HOUR to cook a pot roast. Or 45 min, or 35 min, or 25min!!!!
  • "But it's fall-off-the-bone TENDER"
  • No, the roast has lost all of its moisture AND fat" It's now in the juice you see and the roast is mushy, but DRY.
  • NEVER QUICK RELEASE!
  • Use Chuck. NEVER top round, bottom round, or sirloin.
  • Total cooking time is 1.5 hours for 3# pot roast (chuck roast)
  •  
  • 1pk pot roast seasoning
  • 1c water NO trivet
  • Sear on one side, 10 minutes on SAUTE.
  • Turn the meat over using tongs.

  • It will take 20 minutes to build up pressure. BE PATIENT! Remember your first water test? It took almost 20 minutes? That should have taught you something.
