Need Help with Instant Pot Settings for Pork Chops – Feeling Nervous!

[xzumalcken]

They’ll be tender but meat is 25 minutes per pound on high pressure

 

[hazeloak]

@xzumalcken depends the type of meat. A roast is about 20 per pound. But two pounds of stew meat is perfect in 20 minutes. It depends on the size of the pieces of meat and type of meat. 1 pork chop or 4 pork chops take about 8 minutes.

@xzumalcken Depends on the size/thickness of the pieces. 1 lb of stew meat in 2" pieces will cook MUCH faster than a single 1 lb chunk of meat.

Less Normal More on manual are for you to preset times.
Low Pressure and High Pressure are pressure settings.
With any meat, Natural release.

I kept pushing buttons and settings til I figured it out. Nothing bad is going to happen and you’ll eventually figure it out!

What she said about Natural Release for meat!

 

[roz5353]

To adjust between normal to high just push the button again
I’ve only gotten more confident with my pot since getting a couple of Jeffrey Eisner’s cookbooks. They’re very easy to follow, have the instructions broken out for each step with photos.

To adjust the time, press the + or - button. Pork chops take about 8 minutes. When in doubt, Google an instant pot recipe for whatever you're making or use the search button on this group page.

Way to long for pork chops

 

[cidneey]

It will be way over cooked. I do Costco 2" pork chops for 2 min.

You should get rid of it and go back to your crock pot or stove. Too much anxiety. I don’t think you are cut out for the IP lifestyle. Life is too short. I mean this sincerely.

She should keep trying like I did. It will work out. Follow the tried and true recipes.

Plus and minus buttons change from low, med, high

 

[iamacountnotasaint]

@are92 Plus and minus buttons will change time. They do not change Less/Normal/More. For that, you press the function (in this case Meat/Stew) multiple times to cycle through the levels.

Just un plug it
