How To Make Pot Roast In Aroma Rice Cooker

1. Prepare the Roast: Blot the roast with paper towels to remove moisture. Mix salt, mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, oregano, cumin, and celery seeds. Rub this spice mix evenly onto the roast.
2. Set Up the Rice Cooker: Place the spice-coated roast in your Aroma Rice Cooker. Add the beef broth, carrots, and potatoes around the roast.
3. Cooking Process: If your rice cooker has a ‘Meat’ function, use it. Otherwise, set it to cook for about 35 to 40 minutes. The goal is to cook until the meat is tender.
4. Release Pressure and Rest: After cooking, release the pressure from the cooker. Let the meat rest inside for about 15 minutes. This step is crucial for the meat to reabsorb its juices, making it more tender and flavorful.
5. Serve: After resting, the pot roast is ready to be served. You can also baste it with additional sauce or briefly grill it for extra flavor.
