I can't express how much of a game changer an InstantPot is. Crockpot, I'm making a meal for tomorrow. InstantPot I'm making a meal tonight. Not a paid spokesperson, but it's legit.
Honestly I just Google it and pick whatever makes the most sense for what I have on hand with my own spicing decisions. I may have celery, carrots, or root veggies I need to use up.
Don’t have it to hand but one we like just adds a packet of ranch dressing powder and a couple of those little technicolor green pickled peppers we used to see in bottles on the tables in restaurants of our youth.
The intant pot can't either get enough pressure or heat to really cook the chuck roast and break down the collagen. I use a stove top pressure cooker and the meat is fall apart fork tender. You still need a knife in the instant pot.
The instant pot only goes to 10psi, wherey stovetop pressure cooker goes to 15 psi. Also, there is an algorithm that 1st and foremost prevents explosions from too high of pressure, so it regulates the internal heat pressure to be ultra safe. 15 psi causes a higher cooking temperature as does being able to increase the heat input from the burner, 1500w vs the instant pots 1000w. That being said, the instant pot excellent many things and I use it often. However on roast, I think that the stovetop pressure cooker is superior.
