As a very general rule, dishes based on beef, pork, or lamb made in 4 hours on high or 8 hours on low in the slow cooker can be made in 30 minutes in the pressure cooker. Poultry-based dishes may need only 20 minutes in the pressure cooker.

The total weight of meat does not affect pressure-cooking time, but the size of the pieces does. So, for example, if you’re cooking beef and lentils together, try cutting the beef into pieces that will be cooked through at the same time as the lentils (see the charts here for some general guidelines).
