Welcome to my Instant Pot pork roast recipe. If you want to enjoy delicious home cooked pork roast that is crispy but not chewy then this Instant Pot recipe is just perfect for you.
I spent years with a desire to own a slow cooker. The thought that you could just throw in your food and then you could have your own tender meat to eat with lots of sides that would be perfect for Sunday dinner.
It took nearly 5 years to get my wish and thankfully I was eventually given one. I never thought of a future when I would make peach cobbler in it, all I was thinking about was beef stew, pork roast and of course pulled pork. It became my slow cooker life.
Then 12 years later I became the proud owner of an Instant Pot and thanks to its slow cooker function I could imagine a life where I would make meaty Sunday roasts in it.
But because of all the other things I wanted to cook in it, I have only just got around to perfecting my pork roast recipe.

Well actually that is not really true. It is Dominic’s Instant Pot pork roast recipe, but he would have let me take the credit for it, as he is a nice husband like that!
But back to the roast pork recipe, it is easy to make with readily available seasoning and you can just throw everything into the one pot.
Also don’t think that you need the glass lid for your Instant Pot to make this recipe, as we did it without, but you can always buy one if you feel you would need it a lot.
You could also use this recipe as a base for other types of meat. For example it would also work very well with lamb or beef too.

Hello, I see you have Worcester sauce in there. You don’t mention when to add it in the instructions, and because it’s not a spice I wasn’t sure you add it to the rub mix – that and a rub is usually dry. Can you clarify?
Hi Tessa,
The Worcester Sauce is added along with the other seasonings.
Kind regards

Can this be cooked on Pressure Cooker mode?? If so, how long???
Hi Norma
Yes i would put the pork on for 50 minutes depending on the size and how you wanted it cooked. For example either falling apart then i would cook it for 1h 15 mins but 50 minutes should be fine if you want to be able to slice it.
Kind Regards
Sam
Are the herb measurements for fresh or dried herbs?
Hi Cindy
On this recipe we used dried herbs.

Looking at the recipe for Instant Pot pork roast done in Slow Cooker setting – calls for 1 tablespoon of “mixed herbs”. Can you advise which herbs are mixed together??
Hi Rose,
The mixed herbs are usually a mix of these from the uk:
Marjoram, Basil, Oregano, Thyme
You can mix your own if you have everything in and add different ones to change the flavours.
Kind Regards
Sam
