You never used a pressure cooker?

The lid was OFF. That means, NO PRESSURE LEFT anywhere in the pan.

You never made a pot roast in a pressure cooker?

Fat and oil floats on water. As fatty meat cooks in water the fat melts
and rises to the water surface. Fat does not get stuck underneath the
meat. for the length of time a pressure cooker takes to cook a pot-
roast.
