How To Cook a Pork Loin in a Pressure Cooker

Are you a sport’s parent? I am and I can tell you every night I struggle with getting dinner on the table or in the car so my kids have healthy meals to eat. I have found that my Pressure Cooker XL has become my best friend because I can make meals in under an hour that are real meals, not just sandwiches.

I get asked a lot of questions about cooking in my pressure cooker xl the biggest one is.

How do you cook a pork loin in a power pressure cooker XL?

The answer is simple. Cooking pork loin in a pressure cooker is super easy. First, you add a cup of water to your pressure cooker and then follow the recipe for your dish.  This is my favorite recipe to make because I can put it in reusable takeaway containers and bring it with me to soccer.

How long does it take to cook pork in a pressure cooker?

If it is a pork loin it should take you around 60 minutes. If the meat isn’t tender and you can’t shred it easily go ahead and cook it for an additional ten minutes.

If you are cooking cubes of pork or pork chops it will take less time

thawed pork shoulder 60 minutes

thawed pork lion 60 minutes

thawed pork chops 10-15 depending on how thick

thawed pork cubes 5 minutes
