How to Cook a Roast - Pressure Cooker Pot Roast in 40 Minutes

Visit us at http://www.pressurecookerdiaries.com Learn how to cook a roast in minutes not hours.

"The term dates in print to 1881. Pot roast was once an appetizing way to cook beef from beasts that have been working animals rather than food animals or other inferior cuts of meat. Beef brisket, bottom and top round, and chuck are the usual choices."
---Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink, John Mariani [Lebhar-Friedman:New York] 1999 (p. 254)

Another comfort meal, we love pot roast. This recipe was pretty darn good, something I think we will definitely make again but keep tweaking the spices to fit us best.

Awesome, then this will work out perfectly.

They look about 1/2-2/4 inch thick. Same with the chuck steaks. I'll have to try both and see how it goes

@thestrugglewithin How thin is it sliced? You might be able to get away with a little less time but not too much. Blade cuts are quite tough being muscles in that area are heavily exercised. This is perfectly good for a beef roast when braised in a pressure cooker.

My local supermarkets are well, pathetic. The selection range is limited; one supermarket doesnt even stock chuck cuts can you believe that?

Blade seems to be the closest thing to most cut recommendations - my reason why I haven't chose the round roast is because the nutritional content is too different to that of chuck (blade is closer).

The blade cuts are fairly thin, how should I adjust the procedure for these?

Thanks again, sorry for being such a noob.

@thestrugglewithin Yes you would probably want to reduce it by 3 or 5 minutes. 35-40 minutes is the range recommended for roasts 1.5 - 2 lbs. Let us know how the pot roast comes out

@PressureCookerDiarie

Awesome, thanks for that.

I've never used a PC before, its actually being couriered to me as I type this; I will only be cooking a meat portion ranging of 1 -> 1.5lbs - would there be a reduction in time?

Thanks again
