Absolutely delicious, made it for two people and meant it only needed 3 hours in oven and would have been ready, but I kept topping up liquid with stock and a little wine to keep it moist for 6 hours. Meat was phenomenally juicy and the flavours were amazing.

Hi Linda B, they're similar, both are great for mash due to high starch. You can definitely use Yukon Gold!

Yes, definitely! Brown the beef and veggies first on 'Sauté' mode, then cook everything on high pressure for about 35 minutes with a natural release. Adjust seasonings yesterday after thickening. How's that sound for your setup?

Brisket will work beautifully! Keep it whole during slow cooking for 6-8 hours on low, and then shred it once it's tender. Enjoy the flavor twist!
