Why are my Instant Pot pork chops tough?
Pork chops are usually quite lean and will become tough once they are overcooked. For best result, you will want to use bone-in pork chops that are well-marbled. The bone will act as a shield for the surrounding meat. A thicker cut of pork chop will work better in the Instant Pot as it is less likely to overcook.
Can you overcook pork chops in Instant Pot?
It is possible to overcook your pork chops, but usually, if the meat does not come out tender it is because it did not cook long enough to tenderize. If you use a thick pork chop in the instant pot, there is less chance it will overcook than if you use a thin one.
How long do you cook pork in the Instant Pot?
Return the pork to the Instant Pot. Cover, seal, and cook on HIGH (manual) pressure for 40 minutes (for pork loin) or 1 hour (for pork shoulder/butt). Once the pressure has built and the cook time has elapsed, allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes (do not open right away or the meat may be tough).
