    Tips For Cooking With An Instant Pot

    The Instant Pot is incredibly user-friendly, but here are a few tips that can help make cooking with it even easier! Always refer to your user manual for specific settings and suggestions for your model of air fryer.

    1. Don't Overfill: You never want to fill your Instant Pot more than 2⁄3 of the way full with either food or liquid. When it comes to food that expands like rice or beans, you should only fill it half full.
    2. Brown Your Ingredients: Browning meat or vegetables before pressure cooking adds a lovely depth of flavor to your dishes. Usually, pressure cookers have a saute function, so you can do it right in your Instant Pot!
    3. Use Enough Liquid: Pressure cookers need liquid to generate steam so they can cook your food! Always add at least 1 cup of liquid unless the recipe calls for more.
    4. Release Pressure Safely: The steam from the steam vent will be very hot! Whether you let the pressure release naturally or you use the quick-release feature, make sure to keep your hands and face away from the vent.
    5. Adjust Cooking Times for Altitude: If you live at a high altitude, you may need to adjust your cooking times because pressure cooking can be affected by altitude.

      1 tablespoon beef tallow
    • As your Instant Pot is heating, use paper towels to pat your 2.5-3 lb chuck roast dry. Then, season it generously all over with 2 tablespoon pot roast seasoning.
      2.5-3 lb chuck roast, 2 tablespoon pot roast seasoning
    • Once the Instant Pot is hot, place the roast inside. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side (the end pieces too), using tongs to carefully turn the roast.
    • After you have seared the roast on all sides, carefully remove it and place the trivet into your Instant Pot. Set the roast on top of the trivet and pour in 2 cups beef broth and the optional 1 tablespoon beef bouillon if using.
      2 cups beef broth, 1 tablespoon beef bouillon
    • Select the option to pressure cook on high for 80 minutes with a natural pressure release (NPR) of 15 minutes. Seal the lid and the steam vent and let cook.

    • As the roast rests, add 1 tablespoon garlic, 1 cup yellow onion, 2 medium carrots, 3 ribs celery, and 2 medium russet potatoes to your Instant Pot. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes or until tender.

    Notes

    • Whether or not you peel the potatoes is a personal preference. I leave the peels on my potatoes (and I leave the skin on my carrots), but you can certainly peel either or both of them if you'd like to.
    • If you plan to slice your pot roast, it should be juicy and easy to cut after 80 minutes in the pressure cooker. If you prefer to shred your roast, I recommend adding 10 minutes to the cooking time for a total of 90 minutes.
    • This pot roast is delicious with gravy! Reserve the juices to make my quick and easy pot roast gravy recipe!
    • To store: Once your pot roast has cooled to room temperature, place it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
    • To freeze: Cooled pot roast can be frozen in a plastic freezer storage bag for up to 4 months. Be sure to squeeze out as much excess air as possible. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
    • To reheat: You can reheat your pot roast in your Instant Pot for 5 minutes on high pressure, or you can reheat it in the oven. Place the roast and veggies into a baking dish with a splash of broth to keep it moist and cover with foil. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15 minutes or until warmed.
