I’m off to a late start after finding out I didn’t clean the smoker out after the last 2 uses, but it’s firing up right now. Going to smoke some baby back ribs for about 5 hours.

We just used the Instant Pot my wife got for christmas from her sisters and mother for the first time. Did a beef roast and red, garlic/parsley potatoes and carrots. Came out pretty good. Did it at high pressure (after saute browning of the roast on all sides) for 60 minutes. Might go 65 - 70 next time. Meat came out good and juicy, taters and carrots could have maybe used a little more time.

One recipe I read had you putting the potatoes and carrots right in the broth with the meat. Another said they put the potatoes and the carrots, with garlic and parsley plus butter, in foil all together. Then put package on top of meat to cook. I went with the package deal. Might try it other way next time. Suggestions?
