    Hi. My roast has the rind on. Do I leave on in the slow cooker or remove and make crackle.
    Thanks

    I left mine in the slow cooker, I suppose you can take it off and crisp off in oven 😋 first time trying it was lovely

    Must the pressure be set to low medium or high for it to be properly cooked in 60 minutes?

    Mine only has a high setting and it turned out very good.

    My Instant Pot kept giving me a 'burn' alarm! Is there not any liquid in this recipe?

    It has the tomato sauce. Many roast recipes don't call for much, if any liquid because of the liquid that will come from the meat itself.

    I made half this recipe with a 3 Qt Instant Pot and before it reached pressure the Burn Food sign came out. I had to add about half a cup of chicken stock, then it worked and it turned out delicious. Thank you.

    You have to add a cup of either water or broth for the 6 quart pressure cooker to work properly. Otherwise you will get a burn notice. Layering the ingredients correctly is also crucial for pressure cookers so you don’t get a burn notice. Please be sure to include that if you are recommending recipes for pressure cookers. 😊
