Totally depends. Typically, the result will likely be braised if you're using the pressure cooker part.
The benefit to pressure cooking is by increasing pressure, you increase the boiling temperature. So instead of cooking at 212, you're cooking at 240-250, which despite it only being a 30ish degree increase in temperature will drastically reduce cooking time. So what might take 3 hours in the oven will take less than an hour under pressure.
It's super effective on roasts (pot roast), slow-cooked sauces (bolognese), soups, stews, chilies, etc.
