Lock the lid into place and set the valve vent to “Sealing.”

Select the “Manual” button and adjust to the “High” setting, if necessary. Set cook time to 60 minutes.

When cook time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally by doing nothing to the valve for 10 minutes before doing a quick release (turn valve to “venting”) to release any remaining pressure.

Add onion, carrots, potatoes, and green beans on top of the roast.
