Pressure Cooker Pot Roast

Tasty pressure cooker pot roast. Cooked in 1/3 the time of its stove top counterpart, this roast is a more flavorful and healthier main course. Guaranteed to please even the pickiest eaters in your family.  And, the pressure cooker will do most of the work!

Food cooked under pressure has more nutrients left in.  The longer food is cooked the more nutrients are destroyed.

I use an electric pressure cooker.  However, any pressure cooker is suitable for all my recipes.

I must say, cooking under pressure can take some getting used to.  But, like any new undertaking, it will seem a little complicated at the onset.  Then, when you get the hang of it, you’ll wonder why everyone isn’t aboard the pressure cooker trolley.
