Are you sure the cook time is right? I’ve fixed a beef roast in my pressure for only 25 minutes.
Yes, I am sure. I’ve made it several times. I like the meat to be extremely tender.
Would this work as well in a slow cooker on high for 4 hours? Thank you
Sure will! 🙂
Thank you!!! You answered the exact question I had! I can’t wait to try this!!
Thanks Rosie. I’ll try this one out as soon as I get to the other ones.
Just bought an instant pot, can you post more recipes to cook with it?
Absolutely!
Looks great! I’ll check it out after I get to the others.
Is that the meat time plus1hour20 min
I used the meat setting and cooked for 1 hour 20 minutes.
Should I do natural pressure release or quick pressure release? Also, should the pressure be set to Less, Normal, or More?
I usually do a quick release. It was on normal setting.
Hello Rosie, I came across the recipe & wondering if I can do this recipe in my Crockpot Express Crock. I wonder if the times & settings are pretty much the same?
You can do this in any pressure cooker.
