Yes, keeping the pot roast fully submerged ensures it cooks evenly and stays tender in the Instant Pot!

I don’t think it needs to be fully submerged. I usually just add enough liquid to come halfway up the roast. It turns out great though!

Great question! For a juicy pot roast in the Instant Pot, it doesn't need to be completely submerged... just make sure there's enough liquid to build pressure and get those flavors cooking! Thanks for bringing this up—awesome discussion!

Hey! For pot roast in the Instant Pot, it doesn’t need to be fully submerged. Just make sure there’s enough liquid to create steam—about 1 to 1.5 cups should do the trick! This way, you'll get that tender, juicy meat without it being too soggy. Happy cooking!
