These Instant Pot pork chops are quick and easy to make. They are simply seasoned with salt and pepper and are super delicious with a sprinkling of parsley or with your favorite sauce. I love making pork chops for dinner. My preference is the center cut bone-in loin chops because both the bone and the marbling add so much flavor to the meat. The problem with this cut is that it is often over-cooked. Dry and more like shoe leather than juicy, tender pork. I blame the old public service announcements about the dangers of eating undercooked pork. These days pork only needs to reach 145°F to be safe. (Note that dry overcooked pork is not just an issue with chops. Learn how to deal with this for roasting pork butt and shoulder, and for loins too).  Why Cook Pork Chops In The Instant Pot?If you have been afflicted by the fear of undercooking pork, I have the answer, the Instant Pot. Cooking at a high temperature for a short amount of time keeps the meat juicy and using the sauté function creates a beautiful golden crust. I have the Instant Pot DUO Plus 8 Qt, and I absolutely love it. The salt and pepper I use to season the chops may seem simple but I think you will agree that the results are anything but plain. If you are ready to overcome the over-cooked-pork-chop syndrome, give this method of cooking pork chops a try! I use bone-in pork chops for this method, I think they have more flavor and can be kept more tender than boneless pork chops. Start by seasoning with salt and pepper, then sear your chops in the Instant Pot with the sauté setting. This will take about 3 minutes on each side. Remove them from the pot and pour in your broth or water. You’ll want to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Next, add a trivet to the Instant Pot and put your pork chops on top. Seal it up and set it to pressure cook for 5 minutes. Let sit for an additional 5 minutes after the cook time, then release the pressure and serve. Serving Pork ChopsYou can serve these with a sprinkling of parsley or try them with your favorite sauce. During the summer, I like to serve them with my Best Ever Barbecue Sauce, cornbread, and baked beans. Or, you can try one of my amazing gravy recipes and serve them with mashed potatoes. My Classic Gravy is here but I also have a recipe for gravy without drippings. DESCRIPTIONThese Instant Pot pork chops are quick and easy to make.

How Long To Cook Pork Chops In Instant PotPork Chops can vary in the pressure cooker based on size, thickness and of course marbling. You will need to vary the cooking time slightly if you have different cuts of pork chops. I use chops about 3/4″ to 1″ thick with bone in. Just like roast chicken, bone in meat is tender and has tons of flavor. If you have (or can get) pork steaks (which is my favorite cut) they come out melt in your mouth tender but you’ll need to add a little bit of time if they’re thick. I personally wouldn’t recommend thin cut (1/4″) pork chops in the pressure cooker.
If you have frozen pork chops and are pressed for time, you can make Instant Pot frozen pork chops but you’ll need to add about 5 minutes or so extra. Skip the searing step. Be aware that the Instant Pot will take longer to come up to pressure when you are starting from frozen.
