❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Instant Pot Pork Chops with Gravy
1. Can I use boneless pork chops for this recipe?
Yes, boneless pork chops work well too. Just reduce the pressure cooking time to 5-6 minutes since they cook faster. Check the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F.
2. Why did my pork chops come out dry?
Dry pork chops usually mean they were overcooked. Make sure you are using chops that are at least 1 inch thick and follow the 8 minute pressure time exactly. Quick releasing the pressure right away also helps prevent overcooking.
3. Can I make this recipe without the gravy?
Absolutely. You can skip the cornstarch slurry and just serve the pork chops with the cooking liquid as a light sauce. Or you can use the broth for another purpose like rice or vegetables.
4. How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover pork chops and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or in a skillet with a splash of broth to keep them moist.
5. Can I add vegetables to the pot?
Yes, you can add sliced carrots, potatoes, or green beans to the pot with the pork chops. Just cut them into even sized pieces and add them with the broth. You may need to add 2-3 extra minutes to the cooking time.
