How to Make Pot Roast in Your Instant Pot

[@peterulvestad903]

Thats the way cooking together should be. No yelling having fun...cooking with kids the same. Have fun!! Great video!!!

[@PressureCookingToday]

You got that right!

[@la196]

The attention to details in this video are excellent for instant pot owners (and people new to cooking in general). The little things like swirling the oil around on the crowned bottom of the pot and waiting until it shows "hot" before searing. A lot, not all, vids skip over those tips. I've still have my First generation instant pot. The original when it first came out. The stainless steel has held up all these years and its going strong. I've only had to replace the sealing ring. Great video for the newbies:) The two of you together are so pleasant, thanks for taking the time producing this video:)

[@PressureCookingToday]

What a sweet review - thanks so much!!

A big square of paper towel makes a great splatter screen! I just lay it on top. It won't hold in excess steam, but it will catch the splatter. no washing required! 😉

[@Richard-Seekingwulf]

That just absolutely looks beautiful I love pot roast my mom used to make it all the time. I just ordered the instapot pro and it arrives Saturday January 7th my 66th birthday. I subscribed to your Channel because I have no idea what I'm getting into but I do love to cook.

[@PressureCookingToday]

A perfect gift - have fun!

[@AV8R_1]

Two things I do differently here to boost the flavor just a little bit, is when you initially deglaze with the onions, and add the cup of water, use red wine instead for just that step. Use water later like you did here. Next thing is instead of mixing flour and water to make a slurry and adding it to your broth for gravy, I instead make a nice dark rue by cooking the flour in butter and then add the broth to that. Once it thickens up it will have a deeper richer flavor!!! Give it a try!

[@PressureCookingToday]

Thanks for the great suggestions.

[@crackmyglowstix]

This was how I cooked it, and it came out great. Used 1/2c of a red (made sure that the alcohol cooked out) with 3c water, and used 4T butter and 4T flour for the roux.

[@Whatisalex]

Bought this today and this was the first thing I made. It was so easy and tasted great 🤌 P.s : If you take tablespoons of left over tomatoe paste, put it on a little baking tray in freezer w some Parchment paper. When frozen, bag them. It's great to pull out tablespoons already measured to pop in your stews, etc. You dont need to throw out anymore 😂

[@PressureCookingToday]

So glad it was a hit on your first try. Thanks for sharing the tip. Have fun!

[@LikeItOrLumpIt2107]

Gravy: try using cornflour (corn starch) as it makes it less gloopy and taste less floury and keeps the colour of the original gravy, flour also makes the gravy look anaemic or add some gravy browning. Flour alone needs a good cooking out too, whereas cornflour is cooked almost instantly when mixed with the hot cooking stock. I use the slow cooker function for a pot roast - it makes for a deeper flavour and add a small sprinkle of Worcester sauce + garlic, herbs, whole button mushrooms and also replace some of the liquid with a dark beer like Guinness, Stout or Porter. You should also brown each cut surface of the meat - it makes it more succulent.

[@PressureCookingToday]

I like corn starch with turkey gravy but prefer flour with beef. I'm not a big slow cooker fan, but it's great that it works well for you. Thanks for sharing your tips.

[@murdok1100]

in south la those bits in the bottom after browning is called gradeux. deglazing that is the key to good gravy. works the same for a gumbo reux

[@rapturequeen76]

Ty for ur video, it was great seeing mom & daughter do this in tandem!👍I just pulled my Pro out of the box: can't wait to share recipes w/my 2 daughters who own one and LOVE THEIRS! 😊

Jenn and I love cooking together. I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with your daughters too. Thanks!

[@laquishashields8002]

I love the recipe! Thanks for all of the small but very important tips like browing the meat and also about the tomato paste. I didn't think to freeze the leftover paste!

[@PressureCookingToday]

So nice - thank you!

Thank you so much!!! your instructions and recipes are amazing

[@PressureCookingToday]

That's so nice - thank you!

[@kathleen9929]

Turned out great. I've never left my potatoes whole or such large carrot pieces so will have to try. I like to sear all sides of the meat and thanks for the tip on when the meat is ready to release!

[@PressureCookingToday]

That's great to hear - thank you!

[@lancewig]

Thank you. Great Chemistry between mother and daughter. It's a fun time to watch these. Many of the pressure cooking videos I was looking for are "so serious" and often hard to watch. I love how light hearted and playful this instruction is.

[@PressureCookingToday]

[@amber2508]

Omg i just found your channel, and im hooked. Your recipes look delicious. When I saw you use that stuff called "Better than Bouillon beef flavour," i had to see if i could get it in the UK. I just found it on Amazon UK, yay. A bit expensive over here £12 but oh well. Better than £28 on Ebay (shipped from the USA), so I can't complain.. Can't wait to try it. Thank you for the idea.

Thank you 😋

[@diannebush800]

My mom always used a lot of garlic and as a finishing touch she would add a capful of kitchen bouquet which is a Browning sauce which would make your gravy darker as well as taste better

[@PressureCookingToday]

Thanks for sharing!

Hi great video 👍 , please could you share where you got the inner basket with handle from please, many thanks Glenn .ps I am from UK 👍

[@PressureCookingToday]

Thanks! I bought it on Amazon. amzn.to/3TMv9pQ (affiliate link) You can probably search Amazon Uk to see if it's available there.

[@karankeeone]

To shred the meat...stand mixer with beater (flat) blade or hand mixer! Easy peasy.

[@PressureCookingToday]

Thanks for sharing that tip. We often use the stand mixer to shred chicken but haven't tried it with roast.

[@joeszymanski6936]

Is the basket an optional accessory? Also can you use beef stock instead ofwater

[@PressureCookingToday]

Yes, the basket is an optional accessory and you can use beef stock instead of water if you prefer. Here's a link to our Amazon store to purchase the basket if you'd like. www.amazon.com/shop/pressurecookingtoday as well as a link to the basket amzn.to/3FbR9VI it comes in 3 sizes.

[@feefee2]

I just made this last night! So delicious! Thx for your recipe! Question..do the other 6qt stainless steel instant inner pots fit into your ultimate lid pot? I need some additional inner pots but I noticed this instant pot is shorter and wider than the others so I wasn't sure if the inner pots currently on the market would be too tall for the ultimate lid pot.

[@PressureCookingToday]

No, the other inner pots will not fit. You need one specifically for the Ultimate lid.

[@sigridtrombley8651]

Is there anything more delicious than pot roast with potatoes (preferably mashed) and fabulous gravy? I always looked forward to the Sundays when my mom made pot roast. Her gravy was always fabulous. I don't know that she did anything special but people always raved and said, "No one makes gravy like Sara." Regularly I'd skip dessert and have a second helping of mashed potatoes and gravy. Your video makes me want to run right out and get a pot roast. Jenn you mentioned Yorkshire pudding twice. I've of course heard of it but never had it. How about the two of you teaching us how to make it on a video, even if it's not done in the IP And a final comment. One has to be careful when using flour and water to make gravy that it doesn't get lumpy with the flour. I learned a number of years ago, that making gravies is much easier if you use Wondra instead of regular flour. Give it a try if you haven't already. I keep a can of Wondra in my kitchen cabinet just for that purpose.

[@PressureCookingToday]

I agree pure comfort food. Here's a link to our Yorkshire Pudding recipe www.barbarabakes.com/yorkshire-pudding/ I've started using Wondra too, it's a great option. Thanks!

[@sigridtrombley8651]

@@PressureCookingToday I can just taste that fabulous pot roast gravy dripping over the Yorkshire Pudding. I can see why Jenn loves it. It takes some effort to make it, but maybe I can give it a try. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@thatgirl626]

When I spoke with customer service on an issue with the lid,they told me not to add oil till display reads hot. No big deal I’m sure.

[@kezpanel]

do you keep the gravy in the pot when cooking the vegetables?

[@PressureCookingToday]

You cook the vegetables in the liquid/juices you cooked the pot roast in. Then after the vegetables are cooked, you thicken the liquid/juices to make the gravy.

[@jiselahester5379]

How long is it suppose to take the for the instapot rio to come to pressure for this kind of recipe? I’ve been waiting for 30 min. :( turned it off because steam was just coming out of the black spout thing and rim. So I reseated that and quickly put the lid back on. Feel like I ruined my pot roast tho. 🥺 took it another 10 min to come to pressure and now I finally have the timer on display.

[@PressureCookingToday]

You didn't ruin it, you did just the right thing. Any time you see steam around the rim, it means the gasket is not in place properly and you need to fix it. When you have cold ingredients in the pot, it can take a while to come to pressure. With a big pot of soup using cold ingredients, it can take up to 30 minutes to come to pressure.

[@jaxnaturals]

If you're using grass fed grass finished beef, make sure you use the fat. It doesn't have the toxic material that industrial beef has. Ultra lean protien causes a huge insulin spike (just like sugar) and long term leads to insulin resistance and eventually type 2 diabetes

[@PressureCookingToday]

I do prefer using meat with a little more fat in the pressure cooker.

[@mikeschave]

As a self-professed "kitchen gadget nerd", I am hoping to get an Instant pot for Christmas. While binge watching "Pressure Cooking Today", I saw the handy steamer basket in the Pot Roast video. I like the fact that yours had possibly silicon coated feet to protect the pot. Any info on where to purchase one for an 8qt Instant pot would be appreciated. 😊

[@PressureCookingToday]

Thanks for watching! Sounds like a perfect Christmas gift. The basket is available on Amazon in an 8 quart size amzn.to/3Wdcply (affiliate link).

[@PressureCookingToday]

Lots of guys love pressure cooking. I'm sure you'll do great. Most recipes are created for a 6 quart, so with your 8 quart, just make sure use at least 1 1/2 cups of thin liquid or water.

[@nanais007]

What size pot did you use for this?

We made this is a 6 quart.

[@thatgirl626]

You don’t have to measure the tomato paste or BTB eyeball is fine I love the tube I buy when at a time. Mom s got it right. I have the basket as well, love the basket, I use wondra flour you just add and whisk, you’ll,get the hand of it,I don’t measure because I have used wondra for decades, also,it has no raw flour taste in case your wondering.

[@PressureCookingToday]

Thanks for the tip!

[@angelacoleman1789]

Ty❤😍

[@tepongoagatas1758]

Is 3 minutes really 3 minutes ? When I pressure cook it always takes long especially for rice . Am I missing something here ? I have the same model. Thanks

[@PressureCookingToday]

No, 3 minutes is the cook time, it does not include the time it takes to get to pressure. Think of it like cooking rice on the stove, you have to wait until the water comes to a boil before adding the rice and starting the timer.

[@Rex-c5t]

Even with a roast American's seem to prefer mash potatoes over Roast Potatoes???

[@PressureCookingToday]

A pot roast makes such great gravy, so I do prefer mashed potatoes with gravy instead of roasted potatoes.

Never use powder bouillon as it contains Monosodium Glutamate.

[@AlergicToSnow]

Monosodium Glutamate is great. There is a myth that it’s harmful but it was busted a very long time ago. Actually the source of the myth was from a competitor.

[@cow35f]

why no onions? chunks

[@PressureCookingToday]

Personal preference. You could certainly add onion with the vegetables if you prefer.

[@cynthiaryan2901]

I think you posted the wrong recipe! Chicken?

[@PressureCookingToday]

Thanks for the heads up - I added the correct ingredients.

[@jabbaa6500]

You can see the time you get to the meat and veggies on your plate it is cold. Gravy color looks like turkey gravy not beef. Beef stew is what I would call this. Why not add some Gravy Master to enhance the color and taste? Why not add the meat and veggies back in the pot to heat it all through. Why not cut the meat cooking time a bit less then add the veggies in and cook all together? So much can be done differently.

[@PressureCookingToday]

The great thing about a recipe is you can changed it up the way you like it. We don't cook the meat with the veggies so you can be cutting up the meat while the veggies are cooking. Filming everything is different than when you're serving it to your family. I can assure you the meat and veggies are served piping hot and the gravy is delicious!
