I used a frozen pork loin roast that was 2.5 lbs. Timing will reflect that weight, I would say up to 3 lbs. would be the same.

Chicken broth is better than using just water, apple juice is another option.

Salt and pepper are a given but other seasonings you love could be added as well.

You’ll need a trivet for this as well.

Bay leaves were a nice touch, remember to take those out before making your gravy with the drippings.

What does the meat setting on Instant Pot do?

It just defaults to high pressure for 35 minutes. You can then adjust the cook time for longer or less if you wish with the – or + buttons.

What if you’re making this as an easy Ninja Foodi recipe? NO problem, you can do it the same way. If yours doesn’t have a meat button then just push pressure, set to high, for 1 hour and 45 minutes. OR 22 min. per lb.
