Sunday dinner, especially during the winter, was usually a roast cooked in the pressure cooker, after church. Our big meal on Sundays was always about 1pm.
A roast, with slivers of garlic poked into it - as much as you want. Salt, pepper. Add a little oil to the hot pressure cooker and brown the roast on all sides - make it nice and brown. Add your vegetables - onions, carrots, celery if you like, potatoes. Everything in chunks. Add water, covering about 1/3 of the roast. Cook according to your pressure cooker instructions, probably about 45 minutes.
While the roast is resting, you can make gravy with the juices in the cooker. Invite me over. I love Sunday pressure cooker roast.
If you like meatloaf, it cooks well in the pressure cooker also. just use your favorite meatloaf recipe, brown it and cook according to your pressure cookers instructions. If your pressure cooker has a rack, be sure to use it.

The other thing that's pretty durned good in the pressure cooker is sauerkraut and pork. Same principle as the roast - season your pork, brown it on all sides - dump in your sauerkraut, some sliced onions and apples (or whatever you like in your sauerkraut) and cook it. The meat will be absolutely falling off the bones or falling apart if you use something boneless. Serve it with a mess of mashed potatoes and invite me over.
The best thing to do is think of your pressure cooker as a moist oven that cooks everything twice as fast and sort of adapt recipes - or think of it as a microwave slow cooker. If you can cook it in a crockpot, you can probably make the same thing in about 45 minutes in the pressure cooker. Hope that makes sense.
You'll know you've cooked it right when the meat is moist and fork tender. Any fat will be pretty much melted or melting away.
