3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Add pork chops (bone-in, 1-inch) (1-inch thick bone-in pork chops, seared, 1 cup broth) to the Instant Pot inner pot. Seal the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Select High Pressure (239°F / 115°C) for 8–10 mins.

2
Pressure Cook

Cook at High Pressure (239°F / 115°C) for 8–10 mins. Use full natural release.

3
Check & Rest

Meat is pale pink at the center and juicy; bone pulls away cleanly; chop bends slightly when lifted with tongs. After full natural release, carefully open the lid away from you. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

Instant Pot Duo 6-Qt (IP-DUO60); USDA FSIS 145°F pork standard with 3-minute rest; tested with center-cut and rib chops.

Pro Tip: Sear chops using Saute for 2 minutes per side before pressure cooking to lock in juices and develop a crust. Quick release overcooks lean chops.
