Should the veggies go on top or bottom of the meat? I find when they go on the bottom, they can get overcooked, but on top doesn’t get the full flavor soaked into them.
DianaH, Personally, I prefer they go on the bottom. I don’t mind if they are falling apart. How about adding half on bottom and half on top?

Hi Donna, we have a wonderful roast recipe that is made in the Instant Pot. It’s delicious – Instant Pot Sunday Pot Roast
ThIs is good, but really except for extra garlic it’s no different than my granny’s recipe. I do like the fact it has no canned soups or packet gravy mix added. It is a little easier as well thanks.
