Pork Roast in the Instant Pot is a delicious roast that can be paired with most any vegetable.  With this made in the instant pot, it’s a set it and forget it kind of meal.

When I first got my instant pot, I tried to make a few things that I normally cook in my dutch oven or in my slower cooker. Some of those recipes didn’t work as well as I hoped. So I backed up and started with easier things. I cooked chicken to shred for other recipes and potatoes for mashed potatoes. Once I felt like I had the hang of that, I moved onto a little bit harder recipes.

Pork roast was one of those recipes. I made it a couple times before I was able to get it right.

When you are beginning to use your Instant Pot, it takes a little time to know how yours works. I have read that elevation makes a little bit of a different in the amount of time it takes to cook food in the instant pot. Also the thickness of your food makes a difference as well. The thicker the meat is the longer it takes to cook. If you want a fast roast, you can cut it so it’s not so thick.
