14 Lbs of Pork on the 22.5" WSM

 

As usual, the 14 lbs of pork were cut in half and Costco's rub applied.  The 22.5" WSM held temp to 265 degrees for 6 hours until it ran out of charcoal.  That's ok because the meat was done at 197 degrees!  Talk about good timing!

Pot Roast in the Instant Pot Ultra 6 Quart

I cooked 3 lbs of pot roast meat along with potatoes, celery and carrots and beef broth in the Instant Pot Ultra.  First I sautéd the meat in the Instant Pot and then added the vegetables.  Potatoes were added in an aluminum foil wrap.  Cook time was set for 1 hour after reaching pressure with a 15 minute natural release time.  Rice was cooked separately in a rice cooker.  Seasoning included soy sauce, salt, pepper, a bit of MSG, and 2 bay leaves and some thyme.  After release, some cornstarch / water mixture was added and  the unit was placed in sauté mode to heat up the liquid until it was slightly thicker.  Tasted great!  Meat was nice and tender.
