Cooking a Chuck Roast in an Instant Pot: Timing and Consistency Questions

And it may or may not be too thick to pressure cook, but the cream soup will curdle, so you can't pressure cook it.

@cidneey Cream soups do not curdle under pressure.

Thank you all. Your input has helped so much.

I think your post is a little confusing. You said you were slow cooking but then also mentioned pressure cooking. Maybe a little more clarification?

@arealwomanalwyz
I had 2 separate questions:
1- time for slow cooking roast in the IP
2- is it possible to cook roast under pressure using cream soups
I appreciate all the great information, very helpful answers to both questions

My instant pot is useless as a slow cooker. I just use my crockpot for stuff like that. It is an old model so the new ones may be better.

Condensed cream of anything soup will NOT curdle under pressure contrary to some other comments. However if you mixed it in you will most likely get a burn notice.

Slow cook method is not under pressure.

@dassark - Since slow cook function is not a pressure function, the cream of mushroom should be fine. … this might be helpful … HOW TO USE YOUR INSTANT POT AS A SLOW COOKER

I made a roast in mine yesterday. Cooked on high pressure and used a can of cream of mushroom soup , a packet of lipton onion soup mix and 2 cups water and it was delicious

 

[rainy22]

@jmueller how long did you cook on high? Also did you have it venting?

 

[jmueller]

@rainy22 this is the recipe I used except I used lipton onion soup mix and only 2 cups water https://easyweeknightrecipes.com/instant-pot-pot-roast/...

 

[rainy22]

Yumm!! Thank you!

 

[athenken]

@jmueller you don’t cook it under pressure when you slow cook!

 

[jmueller]

@athenken I was addressing the 2nd question!

 

[ben_85]

I'm about to do a 5 lb roast. I cut it in chunks, sear, add an extra cup of broth, then 60 minutes, then I release and add the veggies for another 15 minutes then NPR

 

[ben_85]

Yum turned out perfect!

Im guessing everyone yelling about slow cook not being under pressure missed question 2 asking if it can be cooked under pressure with the soup, which it can.
