I was so happy to find a pot roast recipe using an old fashioned stove top pressure cooker. Most of the pressure cooked pot roast search results come up as Instant Pot recipes. Thank you ladies for sharing!

I'm trying this recipe right now in a electric pressure cooker. I'm worry the meat don't over cook. I will update later. Update: This will be my Christmas dinner; My family love it!!! I cooked for 55 mins and was perfect! Next time I will be careful with the salt in the gravy bc I already salted the meat before cook it.

I've been making pot roast with a pressure cooker for over 50 yrs, with my old fashioned cooker with the little rocker on top. It's delicious.

Just getting into pressure cooking, I LOVE that you explain the science behind it. That takes the mystery out of cooking and allows me to utilise that in other recipes. Thank you!

My sainted Mother swore by her pressure cooker and now I am in love with my Power Pressure Cooker XL!!! I made a pot roast the other day and now I plan to do a whole chicken! Wish me luck!

I made this for Christmas and it was delicious! I loved how brown the meat got and that I could make gravy from the veggies and broth. It sliced beautifully and tasted great! My family loved it! Thanks so much!

[timivers]

Made this yesterday, and the family loved it! The sauce gravy was absolutely chugable! Thank you!

Way under used kitchen tool. Best stock you'll ever make.
Roast a whole chicken. Save the carcass. Add leftover carrots, onion, celery .
Season at will.. And cook 2 hrs minimum. Bones produce flavor and thickening. Swett veggies. Strain and add stock cook till almost tender. Add pasta, last minute add any leftover chicken.
May not have explained it well.
But be the best chicken soup you've ate in a long time.
Deep rich flavor.
Always, with all soups. Better the next day.
Love your show!

I just bought the Fieeler pressure cooker as you recommended, it came today, and I cannot wait to use it. Of course, as I thought about what I might make first, I consulted your channel and will be making this tomorrow. Thanks for all you do; you never give bad advice. I so appreciate what you do, and please keep doing it; what a service you provide.

Ive blended the veggies for the gravy and it is excellent. Never tried the baking soda. So doing next time

[terencegillespie]

Loved it. I'm going to do one myself alone today. When the little PBS blond shows up it's bound to be great.

I just made this recipe using the T-Fal electric pressure cooker and it was the best roast we've had since my grandma's. Thank you, ladies! This is an incredible video!!!

[etugcey]

I’ve been waiting for this. Pressure cooker is really clever, but needs a perfection of technique. They’ve done it for us!

[Weezieweeks]

I made this and it was delicious. I am not a roast fan, but my husband and both families are - this came out so good and really brown, yet tender!

[johanneskletzmeier]

Just made this in my Instant Pot today - came out amazing! 😋

[alexisdix]

You have convinced me. When I move into my apartment, I will definitely get a pressure cooker.
