Recipe FAQs
Most likely, you may have overcooked the pork chops. Be sure to leave them in the Instant Pot for the recommended cooking time to avoid overcooking them.
Buying bone-in pork chops typically results in a juicier cut of meat that will not dry out while cooking it. Browning the pork before cooking also helps absorb the juices, which will stay in while cooking instead of releasing into the pot, so I do not recommend skipping this step.
Also, be sure to season the pork with salt and pepper. The salt will help tenderize the meat.
If the pork chops are frozen, it will take longer to cook, so I recommend defrosting them first. However, if you cannot do this, skip the browning step and add 5 minutes to the cooking time. Please note that the Instant Pot will take longer to come to pressure with the frozen pork chops.
