Notes
I love ordering my meat from Butcherbox! Check out this post to read more about it and why I love it!
*Pot roast needs to be cooked 20 minutes per pound. If your roast weighs more or less than the recipe, just adjust the cooking time according to weight.
Frozen pot roast needs to be cooked 30 minutes per pound, with an extra 10 minute natural release time after the first initial cook time. For example: pressure cook it for 95 minutes, natural release for 10, quick release, add the baby carrots and potatoes, pressure cook for 10, natural release for 10, quick release and you're ready to eat. :)
If this is your first time using a pressure cooker, just be careful when releasing the pressure valve. It spits out steam and can burn you if you're not careful.
