Recipe tips and variations

Storage and reheating tips
- Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days.
- Freeze: To freeze leftover pork chops place in a freezer safe container. Freeze for up to 2-3 months. The sauce may seperate, but it will still taste delicious!
- Reheat: To reheat pork chops you can use your oven or air fryer at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes, oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes or microwave for 3-4 minutes.
How to serve
We serve our instant pot pork chops with pasta, rice, or even mashed potatoes. Don’t forget to add a veggie or two!
Frequently asked questions
The pork chops are done when they reach 145° F measured in the center, this is the lowest safe point for pork chops. We go to about 155-160 for well-done pork chops.
There’s a fat layer on the outer rim of the pork chops, just scoring into that fat layer should prevent the pork chops from curling up.
We like serving with broccoli, asparagus, mixed vegetables, carrots, or whatever we have in the house that is seasonal.
