Old Fashioned Beef Pot Roast - In the Pressure Cooker!

[@bethanyhazard2407]

best showing of making a roast with vegies in a pressure cooker, thank you.

[@jaredini]

Love the kitty!!! I'm 45, my mum used to cook cheap economical but good food in a pressure cooker in 80s Britain. Meat and two veg ruled in our house. I often follow her example sometimes for Friday night dinner (shabbos) cooking a joint in red wine vinegar and ginger to give an amazing sauerbraten. I blend the veg and liquid to make a delicious nutritious sauce and serve with potato kugel. All cooked in 50 mins.

[@dianemilligan3839]

Everything you used is what my grandmother used when she cooked. Most of the time, she made pot roast on the stove. She used her pressure cooker for park chops & scalloped potatoes or Swiss steak. YUM!

[@Anonymoose]

+Diane Milligan Thanks for stopping by! Apparently, your grandmother and mine went to the same Tupperware parties. LOL But seriously, this recipe is how my mother did it, and how her mother did it, and you're another of many who have said the same. There are some recipes that seem to be universal, and pass the test of time. We can mess around with them, but we just can't seem to improve on them, and an old fashioned pot roast is one of them.

[@Anonymoose]

It keeps you grounded when you go back to your roots now and then. Every time I make this it reminds me that the old fashioned ways are every bit as valid today as ever. To me, there's just no better pot roast than how my mom did it, and no better cornbread than a 100 year old recipe in a cast iron skillet. And I've made a meal of cornbread more than once, myself. LOL Thanks, Melissa!

[@thornboroughhomes7953]

This rings home so true. In the days of going out and eating, forgotten recipes and “out of date” cooking utilities - it’s a breath of fresh air seeing someone cook a truly American (old English at its roots) dish❤️👌

[@lynnmariesawicke4828]

Man after my own heart. Been using, , the old fashioned pressure cookers, for 60 yrs. Have 8 different ones from 4qt to 22/23 qt.....LOVE THEM. My Mom taught me how to use them. Would rather use one of these than the "new" electric ones. The "jiggle" is part of the pleasure. Thank you for sharing

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

I figure watching the jiggly rocker on my pressure cooker is a good reason to sit and relax in the kitchen. You shouldn’t leave the pressure cooker unattended anyway. Good time to have tea at the kitchen table and take a break.

[@jaredini]

I dunno why but I don't trust the electric ones. You can't beat the old simple types from the 70s. Mine is made by Tower and bottom pops up with different colours depending on the pressure. Blue for fish at 5lb, yellow for veg at 10lb and red for meat at 15lb. I do my meat on yellow as I'm always a little nervous of pressure cookers, even though I've used them for years.

[@jaredini]

'Button' rather that bottom.

[@gailwagner8115]

My uncle just gave me a 4 Q pressure cooker, grew up with them so I know the basics but I didn't know how long I should leave it on.. so thank you thank you :-)

[@tomcat51701]

tried your recipe last night in my new stainless steel pressure cooker and it turned out awesome! thanks for teaching us on youtube!

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

Making one right now!!! Living in a hot climate sure makes the pressure cooker the best way to make a lovely meal.

[@ConchitaxBonita]

This helped me so much I was anxious to use this kind of pressure cooker but it’s the only one available to me and thankfully this vid saved me!!

[@Mark-fm5eq]

Those ole skool pressure cookers are iron clad they will never die,that meat was fork tender blessed and highly favored just like you thanks for sharing your love chef.

[@azmendozafamily]

You just got a new subscriber! Glad to see these classic cooking methods are still around. Wish I'd paid more attention when my mom was still with us. Thank you so much.

[@PeaceLoveAndHarmny]

This man is a joy to watch. Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge with us. ✌🏼❤

[@xxmskaosxxii3603]

Yehhh...finally I see a proper pressure cooker. I have a 1973 kitchen craft pressure cooker. Got it fixed and will never part with it. It has made some amazing foods. I would never trade it for an new instant pot.

[@nonnaazaryan4217]

Buddy, I am ready for dinner. Love old fashioned home food. You did great!.

[@sayitwithlove273]

Oh my! That's what I call an old fashion meal. Mr thank you so much for sharing your recipe ❤️

[@MrJaimo]

Thank u kind sir. Probably the most accurate instructions on how to use one of these death traps.

[@Anonymoose]

Ha! We were raised in a different era, when people weren't afraid of food. Glad you enjoyed the visit! To me, a pot roast in the pressure is a real treat. I much prefer it over one done in the oven. Some old recipes withstand the test of time, and this is one of them.

[@CitizenPerkins]

Well done, sir! I've been cooking my pot roasts in a slow cooker that takes 4.5 hours to produce a similar meal. Now that I recently found my mom's pressure cooker -- and thanks to your video -- I can shave that down to about 1.25 hours, including biscuits or cornbread. Yes! :D

[@patriciabozelle2757]

Loved your video. Reminded me of the way things were when I was growing up. Delicious home cooked meal with the whole family. Still make my pot roast that way. Taught my kids and the grandkids. That was the good times before TV dinners appeared. Thanks so much.

[@wiseblissnp]

Looks awesome. I received my GM old presto pressure cooker put a new ring on it bought a roast now trying your recipe. Thanks for corn bread recipe as well.

[@salopardoj]

Wow sir... u done one hell of a damn good job.. reminds me of my mother's cooking .. thank you .great job

[@ddarling9783]

Great demonstration! Today's the day I make a pot roast for the first time with a good old fashioned pressure cooker. Her I go!

[@jeannegleason756]

This video brings back so many wonderful memories! Thanks

[@ThetrueIronknife]

Love the old fashioned stove settings. My grandmother had: medium, medium-high, semi-high, and high Great video!

[@klosnoski]

A man using a pressure cooker to make a meal btter than his mother YET having a glass of wine i a truely sophisticated 'Knuckledragger " with my everlasting respect and adimariation You sir are TRULY a MAN!!!

[@leslieslass]

What is cornbread? We don't have that here in Scotland UK.

[@jacojonker7735]

I grew up in a different country and the old ppl cooked that way too in presure cookers.I like your resepe

[@jandavis6497]

Thank you. Looks wonderful! I'm making it for dinner tonight and will send some to my ailing friend.

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

I have a 2-year-old Presto pressure cooker, the kind you use on your stove. It’s a stainless-steel cooker with a “rocker.” I just pressure cooked an artichoke this week-artichokes always pressure cook perfectly. Going to be brave & cook corned beef tomorrow-following the Presto instruction book, of course. Your pot roast looks delicious!

[@ChristopherB711]

Looks so good my mouth is salivating❗️

[@CattleRancher863]

Looks real tasty. I have my Granny's 1930s pressure cooker, land sakes that thing is heavy but its in good shape and gets the job done even on my 1879 wood cook stove. You cook the way I do in a lot of ways but have to say your a lot neater than me. I have a large family so everything I cook has to be doubled to feed all the kin. Enjoy your videos and much obliged for sharing them.

[@iheartscaryclowns]

I bought a Micro-Matic pressure cooker (with cookbook) a few weeks ago at Goodwill for $7! I’m still trying to figure out how to use it. I’m so happy I came across your vid.

[@mrmr3284]

Awsome, looks just like my grandmother used to make every Saturday just changing the corn bread for home baked white bread. Home made beans on Sunday. Thanks for that recipe I bought a pressure cooker a Cpl weeks ago and gonna take your advice.

[@Anonymoose]

We also had home baked bread "way back then," and the combination of the aromas would drive you out of the house. Now you're making me hungry. LOL Thanks for stopping in, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you get as much joy out of that pressure cooker as I have with mine. Recipes like this make it all worth it.

[@cmaur811]

This looks like my moms pressure cooker that blew up.. put instant pot on your holiday list. Thank you for recipe!

[@roadrunner123]

That's nonsense. There is absolutely nothing wrong with his pressure cooker. I have 3 stove top pressure cookers and those Instant Pots can't hold a candle to any of the stove top ones. The Instant Pot is just a gadget for the pressure cooking challenged folks.

[@cmaur811]

Ruth Alvarez enjoy

[@Juanelo1946]

My mother always had a coffee can of bacon grease in the fridge too. The fat is healthy! Thanks for a terrific demonstration of Pot Roast cooked in a pressure cooker. I'll have to go out and get me one. Everything looks scrumptious!

[@jenniferharris3989]

Excellent video. Thank you very much.👍

[@MrScottie68]

Thank you very much for posting this recipe. I’ve been looking for one close to the way my mom made and this is definitely it. Only thing different is that I remember her browning the meat right in the pressure cooker and not in a frying pan and that she used celery as well.

[@colleenlouise4521]

I just was given two pressure cookers a Presto and a mirro, a 4 qt and a 6 qt. I am a happy girl. I have a ordered gaskets, waiting for arrive!

[@garysarverjr5397]

Thank you so much for this vid. Grew up with kind of cooking and I just acquired a pressure cooker and this is the first recipe I am gonna cook....thanks

[@Anonymoose]

+gary sarver jr Glad you enjoyed it! It'll be a great way to break in the new pressure cooker. Why it took Google two weeks to let me know you'd left this comment is beyond me, but thanks for dropping in and watching!

[@peppermintwoman2049]

I just scored a vintage Maitre's pressure cooker and your video was so helpful in instructing how to use it!! The food looks decadent too!

[@cobravenomX1]

looks great, i just got a new electric pressure cooker and this will be the first meal i make in it thanks alot great video

[@Anonymoose]

peter ellis Glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope it worked well for you!

[@zirconce]

Looks so delicious!! Thanks for sharing the video.

[@Anonymoose]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a great old never fail recipe.

[@timitsasecret6709]

+Anonymoose tip add 4 shots of jack Daniels the beef will have a nice whiskey taste

[@panamacz98]

looks great cant wait to make it. Thanks for taking the time to show us.

[@soundsofnature3039]

I enjoyed your presentation and the food looks delicious !!!

[@Anonymoose]

Thanks much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

[@umsaoda2866]

Looks yummy 👍I will definitely try it 😊

[@Anonymoose]

Glad you enjoyed it! It sounds like you have quite a collection of them. Since I'm cooking for one, this 4 qt model is perfect for me, and it's been serving me well since the mid 60s. I've never seen an electric one, but I'm seeing a lot of multitasking countertop gadgets these days, and the one you describe sounds pretty convenient. Thanks for stopping by!

[@PetalynSwartHeartFueled]

I’m so glad you made these videos. So helpful… piggery and all.

[@trvlbuggy]

good vid. i enjoy using the pressure cookers too. i have several sizes of stove top ones..they have been taken over by the electric one .. it is fantastic. slow cooker, roaster, steamer and pressure cooker. i like the feature of the timer including the menu to select keep warm. it is a fantastic help for holiday cooking when the oven and stove top are in high demand. the roast you cooked looks wonderful....thanks for sharing. i have never tried cinnamon on a roast..... next roast for sure.

[@karlhungus5554]

Looks fantastic! My parents used to cook cornbread the same way.

[@mamawfrancy]

John, After adding your veggies pressure 'less' than 10 mins... maybe 4-5 mins. Your veggies will be nicely done & NOT mushy. TY for the wonderful tips on 'browning the roast' and different seasonings.

[@chickiepup]

Love you and your video....making these items on Christmas Day..thanks to you... I am off to store😃😃😃 Merry Christmas

[@AzAcer1]

" Do excuse me,I have Piggery to commit" Love it!!. Thank you for sharing. Will definitely try this in my pressure cooker. Like the Cinnamon addition too. Good comfort food indeed!

[@raphaelmoraczewski1106]

How much water do you put in there for the time you want to cook it

[@stephanblack4558]

Love the dialect. Thank you.

[@Anonymoose]

LOL! I hate to admit that I've done that before. Put together a huge feast, and when it's done I'm too wasted to care. I hate that. This pot roast was REALLY good!

[@krod1180]

Great meal my friend, I love it!!

[@DebraOwens-y2d]

I'm just wondering why you don't brown the roast in the pressure cooker. I'm 64 and I'm using my mother in laws old pressure cooker

[@pennacooner3973]

Broke out the All American Pressure Cooker Model 921...Fantastic...Thanks

[@donna5370]

I have always Baked the meat and vegetables in the oven and it can take hours so I will definitely be trying in in my pressure cooker next time. I like Pumpkin too. Would this go mushy in the pressure cooker or would I just have to put in bigger pieces than the potatoes Thankyou for the U tube video

[@thomasrigby3916]

😎 WOWWWW! Never expected this... it looks wonderful and I love your style my friend. Momma always saved and used the bacon fat drippings. That's what won me over!!

[@termitesistruitt4673]

Bravo!! Looks fantastic

[@Anonymoose]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. And believe me, it tastes every bit as good as it looks. There are some old tried and true recipes that just can't be beat, and this is one of them.

[@twotut2002]

You don't put the bottom rack thing in there when cooking ?

[@HighConsciousness1]

I enjoyed this being I just got a 6qt presto pressure cooker at a garage sale for $3.00 LOL. Is it true that one should NEVER NEVER NEVER fill the pressure cooker more than 1/4 full?

[@Anonymoose]

+HighConsciousness1 Somehow I never got a notice for this comment, so a belated thanks! And great deal on that pressure cooker! No, it is not true that you should never fill it more than 1/4 full. Under the "don'ts" in my original owner's manual, it says, "Don't fill pan more than *3/4 full* when cooking certain soups or other food combinations which froth and foam when they cook." I've gotten away with filling it higher than that, with experience, and with foods that I know don't foam up. The critical point is that you don't want stuff to boil up and clog the steam vent in the lid with a chunk of whatever you're cooking. Do that, and the pressure can build up until you blow that safety fuse in the lid, blowing all the pressure at once, and as I've heard, blowing the contents all over the inside of your range hood. You don't want that...

[@HighConsciousness1]

Okay, great - I'll try to keep it at halfway to play it safe - so far I am loving it!!! being I eat a lot of legumes - it is amazing!

[@truthseeker1871]

That may be true but I had my pressure cooker 3/4 full on this very day and had no problem whatsoever. I am forced to wonder where that story of 1/4 full came from. I had a great meal today of potatoes, carrots, onions, and pot roast. Took me 60 minutes for a 4.5 lb. piece of chuck.

[@cathycombs414]

Looks GREAT👍😊

[@richardrice893]

We'll be trying it this way in a few hours, looks perfect. I really miss round bone pot roast cuts, chuck never seems to turn out as tender. Can't wait to try your method, it's almost identical to what my wife and mom made- hoping the pressure cooker will get it to cut with a spoon. Looks fantastic in your video! ;)

[@rebiceman100584]

Ive made this twice now both times it came out great thanks for the recipe... ps. Use a ladle instead of a spoon to put the beautiful gravy on

[@Anonymoose]

Thanks! Glad to know you're enjoying it! I used the spoon because I was trying to look a little more civilized, and less like the pure blooded glutton I am. With camera off, I dive in there with a ladle. LOL

[@mikedunn7795]

The last few seconds,I was drooling in my lap..

[@bobouzala]

I don't know why - but I like your style, yum!

[@Anonymoose]

Hahahaa! Thanks!

[@jacojonker7735]

i enjoyed ure vid so much! reminds me of home during the eighties.im getting that stoompot or presusure cooker asap.

[@bonzaibarty]

That came out looking great!

[@Jean-ni6of]

It looks so good I feel I smell it as well.

[@mobiltec]

Been meaning to get me a pressure cooker. Winter is just around the corner and it's a good way to heat up the house and prepare a weeks worth of food at the same time.

[@817Marvin]

Awesome just got a pressure cooker will try this recipe

[@Anonymoose]

Thanks, and glad you enjoyed it! I hope it works as well for you as it has for me. I just did one last week.

[@TheWolfePit]

Oh YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BUDDY!! The only thing that plates missing is a diving board! YUM John!!! I've never used a pressure cooker before, but I might have to hunt one down now!!!

[@griseldaaguilar1375]

That looks delicious I just bought a stove top pressure cooker and will be doing your recipe tonight 😋😋

[@judygould4720]

The cat is sitting there watching to make sure he's cooking it right!

[@Anonymoose]

It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it, and he worked cheap. LOL

[@tonyrigdon7175]

I made your old fashion rec, used my grandmothers big pressure cooker she willed to me. OMG was really good. Thank u for sharing..

[@Anonymoose]

Tony Rigdon Great to hear that you made it, *and* that you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback! Hang onto that old pressure cooker. It's a real treasure.

[@reinacoffee8557]

Even after making sure all the steam has been released, I always cover the pressure cooker with a hand towel and use tongs to remove the regulator, so I don't accidentally burn myself. Ouch!! I use my leftover meat to make tostadas, tacos or burritos, or machaca with eggs. I just shred the meat and fry it in hot Mazola Corn Oil and season with salt and onion/garlic powder.....very Yummy!

[@ninaclanton6868]

I lost my Mirror Matic pressure cooker like the one you're using in a tornado in 2015. I've tried several others and none of them are as easy to use. Surely do miss it.

[@sarahguppy6580]

Thank you for sharing this, i've just inherited my mums old pressure cooker and this is the first dish i've made in it - so delicious, we will be using your recipe on a regular basis and I can't wait to try your chicken dish

[@Anonymoose]

Thanks! It's great to know you've enjoyed it, and it's helping you get that pressure cooker humming again! Once you've gotten the hang of it, there'*so* much you can do with it.

[@sarahguppy6580]

Anonymoose I'd love to try baked apples in it too, any ideas?

[@Southninja]

Bravo! I just found your channel and now I'm going to get a roast going!

[@fallingjeff]

Thanks so much. Just inherited the exact pot you have... here goes nothing.

[@swicheroo1]

I just got a pressure cooker at an estate sale! It was from a nice house in the hills--5 bucks. Woman had a lot of nice stuff-great luggage and stuff like that. I'm trying to learn how to use, now. Any suggestions for a newbie?

[@Anonymoose]

Sounds like a great deal! First thought would be to read the owner's manual, to get the basics of operating it. There are a lot of variations between brands. They're not tricky or especially fussy, but you just want to be sure you're doing it right. If it doesn't have one, odds are you can download it online somewhere. Armed with the basics, just start using it. Watch some tutorials and video recipes right here on KZbin. And if you're in the mood for the best old fashioned pot roast ever, try this one. :-)

[@swicheroo1]

Okay. I'll bone up on the manual (which was included!). My wife got made when I showed her it. And she wants me to throw it out...but I want to show her this can be useful and make summer cooking easy on the air conditioning bill!

[@Anonymoose]

It's that much more of a bargain if it came with the manual. It's also an indicator that it was likely well cared for. Or one of those Christmas gifts that never got used at all... One of the best things about them is the time they save. Like pot roast in under an hour, instead of steaming up the kitchen for three hours. And the red beans and rice recipe I did recently in 45 minutes, instead of nearly three hours. The less time you spend steaming up the kitchen, the happier your A/C will be. And it lets you cook meals more often that you might not do often because you don't have time to let them cook all day. That might get her attention. LOL Have fun with it.

[@imperceptibleme]

Definitely cooked it the old fashioned way! My mother had a pressure cooker just like that. My favorite thing would be the corn bread. I love corn bread and butter and have made a meal out of it many times. It looked wonderful Moosie. Cooking like your mom. No better way. Hugs!

[@eckankar7756]

nice to see a video on youtube by someone who knows how to cook a pot roast in the Pc. definitely add the veges later. I add my garlic with the veges at the end, the flavor is so much richer.

[@VLinas]

Are you using a 4 qt pressure cooker ?

[@tonygirard3307]

Thanks for the good ideas. I make an awesome Jerk Boston Butt in the pressure cooker but haven't tried a Pot Roast yet and didn't want to mess it up. I was unsure on the cooking time. I'm going to use the same procedures except I'll use some tomato paste with some beef consume in addition to the beef stock. A few sprigs of fresh Thyme instead of dried. Add the carrots and potatoes and cook for 15 more minutes. Release the pressure from the pot and add a bag of green peas. Cover and let rest. Once cooled down remove everything, strain the juices, add some flour for the gravy. Mix all of the meat and veggies together along with lots of the gravy! Now that's a Pot Roast!

[@Anonymoose]

Glad you got some ideas. Thanks for stopping by.

[@Anonymoose]

LOL! A diving board. There's plenty of diving to be done, for sure. It's good stuff, Larry! I'm surprised at how many people don't use pressure cookers. For some reason they seem to have gone out of vogue.. My mother and grandmother both had big ones that they used for canning as well as feeding the families, and my mom gave me this one when I moved off campus and started cooking for myself in '65. It has a LOT of miles on it, and even the gasket is original. I have the owner's manual, too. LOL

[@Anonymoose]

Haha! Between the two of them, they do keep a watchful eye on me. I've used canned milk in cooking and baking for many years, and it works beautifully. I rarely drink milk, so I don't keep it around because it'd spoil before I used it, but cans of Carnation in the pantry are always ready and fresh.

[@Tina-Bombina]

Great recipe! - thank you for sharing! xx

[@Anonymoose]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank *you* for dropping in and watching!

[@tomcat51701]

even made your gravy which i don't normally do it turned out well. did not bake cornbread though even though i'm a southerner,

[@rickmelto6750]

That looks great .thank you

[@jorgeluisgarcia1006]

OMG, bacon drips for frying, you got a new subscriber!! and yes, Crisco is garbage, highly processed garbage! Wonderful dish !! :-)

[@cyacmom]

i always loved the way the meat just falls apart (i have to admit..i serve it in a big bowl..so i can drown everything in the gravy.....maybe not heart healthy, but definite comfort food !)

[@Anonymoose]

Pressure cookers are definitely good with stews and soups. Bean dishes, too. I've done assorted meats and roasts in the Crock Pot, and this recipe would probably do very well. With the pressure cooker, though, the high pressure and high temperature steam (it runs up to well over 250°F) both tenderizes and fuses the flavors in its own special way. Both ways will give good results, but IMHO the pressure cooker version is better.

[@phyllisgriffith3782]

Try cornbread mix with buttermilk, let the oil come over the top it will be crispy, I always use aunt jemima, I love your video.

[@navigator902]

Thank you Mr. Moose enjoyed it and collecting for my new old pressure cooker, eating better.

[@Anonymoose]

Poor Patrick! Interrupted right in the middle of an onion. That just ain't right. LOL Glad you both enjoyed it! My sister has our mom's pressure cooker. It was a wedding gift in 1941. She still uses it. Sad that Patrick lost his mom's. The old ones are real treasures, and of course they were made better than the modern ones. I don't suppose there's any way he can get it back?

[@masonryjoe]

I used a lagostina stainless old school pressure cooker the other day with about 3 lbs corn beef, filled it to just above the meat with beer and beef stock, got it going on medium and when I came back an hour later the liquid was all gone and I burnt it ,the weight of my pressure cap is only 59 grams . What did I do wrong , looked like all of your liquid was still there, what did ya mean by set it for 15 lbs with the weight ? :-(

[@Anonymoose]

I'm not familiar with the Lagostina brand, but it sounds as if you either didn't have it sealed, or you had the temp set way too high. The whole point with a pressure cooker is that it's a sealed, pressurized environment, and almost no liquid escapes. By 15 pounds, I mean 15 PSI, or 15 pounds per square inch, which is the pressure maintained inside. My pressure cap has three settings, for 5, 10, and 15 pounds, and I was using the 15 pound setting. When the cooker pressurizes, the control will jiggle a little periodically, releasing any excess pressure as steam, and maintaining the pressure inside. The only liquid that escapes is that small amount of steam when the control jiggles. And you adjust the burner down to a heat level *just* high enough to make that control jiggle briefly, once or twice a minute. Best advice for specifics would be to read the manual that came with it. If you don't have it, you could probably look it up online.

[@majorgreenz2811]

great video i enjoyed it and i will be trying this tomorrow :) thanks !

[@Anonymoose]

+Major Greenz Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for stopping in! I hope you enjoy the pot roast as much as I do.
