If this is your first time cooking with an instant pot, an Instant pot pork roast recipe is a great place to start.
One reason we LOVE instant pot recipes is because they are so versatile! Because the instant pot cooks using high pressure and a low cook time, pressure cooker pork roast is a great way to have your family dinner on the table in minutes.
We also love that these recipes use simple ingredients you can easily find at the grocery store. You’ll have a delicious pot roast on the table just like mom used to make.
What Is The Best Cut of Pork To Cook in the Instant Pot?
The type of meat you can cook in the instant pot is almost limitless! You can cook pork tenderloin (or pork loin roast), pork shoulder roast, pork butt roasts, and even pork chops in the instant pot!
You may also get different results with how the pork cooks with a leaner cut of meat which doesn’t have as much fat, so pay attention to which cut the recipe calls for.
Typically the fattier cuts give you more juicy, tender pork. That being said, these easy instant pot recipes are forgiving and you can still get tender pork roast regardless of what you choose.
Give it a try!
Tips For Pressure Cooking Pork Roasts
Different cuts of meat cook in different ways. If you want tender meat with as much flavor as possible, try these simple tips:
- Season your pork roast well with a dry rub. Depending on the recipe, you can get great flavor with just a handful of ingredients using a dry rub. Try using things like brown sugar or garlic powder to start!
- Sear the pork roast before pressure cooking. Use the sauté function with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of the pot to sear your pork on all sides. Those little browned bits are a treasure trove of delicious flavor, and searing helps lock the juices inside the roast.
- Leave enough time to use a natural release instead of a quick release. This will give you the most tender pork recipe ever!
- If your pork is still tough, cook for a longer time. While pressure cooking is much faster than slow cooking, a roast will still take a long time if you really want tender meat. Start with the cook time the recipe calls for and then adjust according to the size and type of your pork roast.
