Notes

  • Sear pork chops: Searing your pork chops for a few minutes until golden prevents them from drying out while cooking. This helps lock in the moisture and keeps the pork chops juicy and tender!
  • Bone-in pork chops: You can use bone-in pork chops for this recipe as well. I recommend adding an additional 2 minutes to the cooking time.
  • Frozen pork chops: You won't be able to get a good sear on your pork chops first, but you can pressure cook your pork chops as you normally would. Add 2 minutes of extra cooking time.
