We don’t know about you, but we LOVE our pressure cooker. Sure, it’s no replacement for the low-and-slow cooking we grew up with, but for those times when you’re in a pinch, pressure cookers offer some serious dinner-time magic.

This tried-and-true pressure cooker roast recipe is sure to have your whole family convinced you’ve been cooking for days.
