A classic pork roast, simply seasoned, cooked in the Instant Pot and served with gravy.
Instant Pot Pork Roast
This is a classic, very basic pork roast done in the Instant Pot, or whatever electronic pressure cooker you have.
I say that, because long before the Instant Pot craze, I had purchased three other cookers - two are QVC branded Cook's Essentials pots and the other a Power XL pressure cooker. They all did such a fine job, that I didn't get on the IP bandwagon for quite some time.
It doesn't take long to fall in love with them though, because now I have not one, but two IP branded pots, in addition to those other pots, and at times, I have had at least three going all at once!
Here's how to make my Instant Pot/Electronic Pressure Cooker Pork Roast.
As always, full recipe text with measurements and instructions, as well as a printable document, are a little bit further down the page. Just swipe or scroll past the step-by-step pictures below.
Use the sauté or browning function on your pot, or heat oil and butter in the bottom of a large skillet. I'm using very basic seasonings here - salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and garlic powder. Sprinkle generously on all sides of the roast.
Brown all over in the hot oil and butter.
Meanwhile, whisk together the chicken stock/broth, pepper jelly and thyme.
Pour over roast.
Add bay leaves, seal and cook at HIGH pressure for 45 minutes.
Allow pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure. Check internal temperature with an instant read thermometer, for a temp of 145 degrees F, or higher. Remove roast and set aside to rest. Skim off any excess fat from the top and switch pot to sauté or browning function.
For the gravy, whisk together the water, cornstarch and mustard until smooth. Pour into the cooker and bring to a boil, stirring until thickened.
Slice roast, spoon gravy over the roast and serve remaining gravy at the table.
