Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 4 boneless pork chops (approximately 6 oz each)
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g) garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) Italian seasoning
  • Salt & ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Cooking oil
  • 1 cup (237 ml) water

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle pork chops on both sides with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • Heat the Instant Pot on saute mode until hot. Add 1 tbsp cooking oil. Place the pork chops into the pot and sear them for 2-3 minutes per side. Turn off saute mode and remove the chops from the inner pot.
  • Pour in 1 cup water. Whisk up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot, then return the pork chops to the pot.
  • Lock the lid and set the vent to sealing. Press the pressure cook button and set the timer to 5 minutes.
  • When the time is up, allow a natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then release the remaining pressure.
  • Remove the lid and transfer the chops to a serving plate.

Notes

  • You can cook up to 12 pieces of pork in the Instant Pot at the same time with this recipe, no additional time is necessary. Just make sure you don't exceed the max fill line. And add more seasoning so all pork chops get a good amount.
  • You don’t need to defrost frozen pork chops to cook them in the Instant Pot. If you cook them from frozen, you just need to add 2 minutes to the cook time.
  • You can stack the pork chops on top of each other, if there are too many for one layer.
  • Make sure the Instant Pot is hot before adding the pork chops. This will help get a good sear on the meat.
  • Searing the pork chops on both sides will create a golden crust and enhance the flavor. You can skip this step, but you’re also skipping a lot of flavor building. Be sure not to exceed one minute per side, or they chops might become overcooked during the pressure cooking.
  • The recommended internal temperature to assure the meat is safe to eat is 145° F(60°C)
    to 160° F(70°C)
