In reply to Ginnie.

Hi Ginnie- I’m not sure which directions you followed for the pork loin, but I don’t have any here on this site for doing pork loin specifically in the instant pot. The Instant Pot is a pressure cooker which is a much different critter cooking-wise. It will definitely yield a different result than roasting. Don’t worry, though! Not all is lost. 🙂 You can cut the pork loin up, return it to the instant pot with 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 a bottle of your favourite barbecue sauce. Let ‘er rip on high pressure for about 25 to 30 minutes, release pressure, and shred the pork. If you’d like the sauce to be thicker, just put it on the sautee setting, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until thickened to your liking. Serve with additional barbecue sauce on buns. 🙂

I cooked a 2 lb pork loin in my instant pot to 145 degrees and it was overdone and quite tough. I followed directions to a tea! What happened and is there a way to salvage to leftovers?

In reply to rachel frampton. Hi Rachel- Thankfully, all pork that is sold in the US is antibiotic free by law. :)

My sister and I are planning to cook pork steaks for our upcoming family reunion, which is why we’re currently looking for a supplier that sells antibiotic-free meats. Thank you for the heads up; we’ll make sure to buy darker pork so it will be more flavourful. We’d also keep in mind to never slow cook the tenderloin because this may affect its texture.
