Recently I shared the VERY yummy Crock Pot Dilly Roast that one of our readers shared with us. It became an INSTANT hit and so, we decided to try to tackle it in our electric pressure cooker. The results were incredible! The roast was fall-apart tender after only 60 minutes of pressure. It always amazes me how instant that Instant Pot can be when I am so used to my slow cookers ;).

Psst… here is a video of our Crock Pot version of this recipe:

Notes on Instant Pot Dilly Roast

Cooking time is in addition to the time it takes for the unit to reach pressure. Times may vary to reach pressure.
If you would like to use a 5 lb roast, increase cooking time to 90 minutes.
If you are using an 8-quart Instant Pot, you may need to use a half cup more liquid to make sure your Instant Pot will come up to pressure.

As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
Finally, all electric pressure cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own electric pressure cooker and time adjusted as needed.
