Instant Pot 3 Packet Pork Roast

This Instant Pot 3 Packet Pork Roast recipe is another simple dump and push start Instant Pot meal.  It is perfect for a busy weeknight meal.  Also, the leftover pork makes delicious pulled pork sandwiches!

We use the 8 qt. Instant Pot to prepare all our meals.

We also use a digital cooking thermometer like this.  If you have any questions about what temperature something should be cooked at or reheated at you can check out FoodSafety.gov.  That’s what we use.

How much liquid do you put in a pressure cooker for a roast?

I only put 1 cup of liquid when I am pressure cooking a roast in my Instant Pot.  It makes its own juices and gravy while cooking.  I do slice my roast into 1” slices though.  I like for the flavor to be absorbed into all the meat, not just the outer edges of a (uncut) whole roast.

 

 

 

What should I cook with my Instant Pot 3 Packet Pork Roast

This meal goes great with rice or potatoes.  Also, I know most people like to cook whole potatoes and carrots with their roast.  We prefer not to.  If you want to cook your potatoes and carrots with your roast, you can do a quick release 20 minutes before your roast is complete.  Then add in your carrots and potatoes and continue to cook at high pressure for the final 20 minutes.  This will ensure that your vegetables don’t get overcooked.

 

 

 

Do I have to brown my pork roast before pressure cooking?

No, you absolutely do not have to brown your meat for this recipe.  We don’t brown our pork roast before pressure cooking with this recipe.  Any time I can make an Instant Pot recipe simply dump and push start I do.  I like to make things as simple as possible.

#5.  Then press the “Pressure Cook” button.  Next, press the “Pressure Level” button until you have selected “High Pressure”.

#6.  Turn the timer on for 1 ½ hours if you have a 3 lb. roast. Once pressure builds up, the timer will start counting down.

#7.  Once the timer has completed let it do a natural release of pressure.  Which means do not open the venting valve.  It will naturally release the pressure on its own in about 20-30 minutes.

#8.  After all the pressure has released you can open the Instant Pot and serve!
