Tips on Cooking Meat with the Instant Pot:

Instant pot pork loin recipe method is a bit different from the oven method you may be used to.

• Remember: When cooking under pressure the cooking time is determined by the THICKNESS of your meat. NOT the weight.
• If you slice up your pork roast into one inch slices and then put them in the instant pot Adjust the cooking time downward to 15 or 20 minutes.
• For example I cooked both of the pieces of this pork roast for the same amount of time for two different dinners. And they came out beautifully even though one was a pound heavier. Because the thickness of the meat was the same.  EVEN IF THE ROAST WEIGHT IS HEAVIER.
• This is important to remember or you will wind up with all the juice on the outside of your meat. NOT on the inside where you want it.

Use at least one cup of  WATER (OR free range organic chicken stock) in the pot bottom:

• You still need to bring the water in the pot up to at least one cup or your pork roast may burn and the pot may not pressurize.
• Instant pots must have one cup or more liquid in the bottom of the pot in order to correctly pressurize and cook.
• So no matter how much water you used to deglaze when browning the meat. Add more to get the required amount of one cup of water (or watery liquid). You won’t hurt the meat by adding a bit more water just don’t get ridiculous about it.

When your instant pot dings let the pot natural release the pressure for 15 minutes.  Then quick release. Remove the meat to a serving tray to rest. Now make your gravy.

The Gravy:

This gravy is made from the drippings left in the instant pot once the pork roast is finished and resting. The gravy is FULL of delicious flavor. Just like Grandma made from the drippings in the bottom of her roasting pan. The instant pot makes it really easy to make your own drippings gravy and it’s all done in one pot.

You may make as much or as little gravy as you prefer for your family.

Adjusting the Gravy Volume:

• Just add enough water to create the quantity of gravy you want.
• For example a quart of water will give you a little over a quart of gravy. I recommend you build the gravy amount you need to the side dishes you choose.
• The gravy amounts in the recipe card are for just the meat and a small side. If you make mashed potatoes or two gravy loving sides. Make more gravy.
• THEN You will need to also add in more flour and seasonings to thicken the extra volume of gravy and bring up the flavor a bit.
• Be SURE you allow the pot to boil on the saute function long enough to turn the gravy from opaque to transparent.
• Adjust it to your preferences and Salt and pepper to taste.

Food Safety note:

According to the USDA FSIS

1. Pork roast should be cooked to 145 degrees to be safe for human consumption.
2. Check your roast temp with your meat thermometer before unloading it from your instant pot.
3. If the temp is too low seal the pot and cook on manual high pressure for another five minutes.
4. Then quick release and check the temperature again. 
5. Finally the FDIS recommends that you rest your pork for at least three minutes before serving for food safety. Resting up to 15 minutes is ideal.

Resting your meat is beneficial for any grilled cooked or fried meat. Kayti says more about this in her pan fried chicken recipe.

Notes

This gravy is made from the drippings left in the instant pot once the pork roast is finished and resting.

• You may make as much or as little gravy as you prefer for your family. Just add enough water to create the quantity of gravy you want.
• For example a quart of water (or use chicken stock) will give you a little over a quart of gravy.
• You will need to also add in more flour and seasonings to thicken the extra volume of gravy and bring up the flavor a bit.
• Adjust it to your preferences.

Use either dried rosemary or fresh leaves if you have them as I did.

Remember: When cooking under pressure the cooking time is determined by the THICKNESS of your meat. NOT the weight.

I cooked two pieces of pork roast for the same length of time that were a whole pound different in weight. BUT if you are cooking a small thin piece of roast or if you cut your roast into smaller slices before cooking. Adjust the cooking time downward to 20 minutes.
