Let's talk about pork! When it comes to the main animal proteins, I feel like pork gets left out the most often. It is a truly underrated ingredient when we consider its versatility, affordability, and incredible taste. There are many budget-friendly cuts to work with, it takes on any flavor profile and sauce brilliantly, and the end result is almost always hearty and satisfying.

Whether you're a fan of pulled pork, pork chops, or finger-lickin' good ribs, we have the right recipe for you to try in your Instant Pot soon. We'll be covering so many different types of cuisines that you're bound to find your flavor and feel inspired. Here are our favorite Instant Pot pork recipes for you to try!

2. Pork Chops With Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Who doesn't love a good pork chop? This is an underrated protein choice in my opinion.

3. Instant Pot Smoky Ribs

This delicious rack of smoky Instant Pot barbecue ribs is low-carb and keto-friendly. You can do it the old-fashioned way, but once you start cooking the meat in your IP, you won't go back. It's recommended that you give them a quick broil in the oven or on the grill before serving to seal in that flavor, but you won't have to wait hours and hours for a tender, juicy, fully cooked inside now.

5. Pork Tenderloin & Potatoes With Creamy Mushroom Sauce 

Have you ever cooked with pork tenderloin before? It’s a long, log-like piece of meat that is quite lean but very tender. Made together in the Instant Pot, pork tenderloin and potatoes need about the same time because this cut of pork doesn’t need much cooking. Plus, having the pork in the same pot will release all of its tasty juices straight into the potatoes resulting in heartier flavor. Find the recipe here.

If you're not acquainted with one of my favorite cooking techniques - if you can even call it that - let this recipe familiarise you.

9. Instant Pot Pork Chops & Apples 

There is something brilliant about pairing fruit with poultry. This simple 6-ingredient recipe is sweet and savory with buttery brown sugar apples caramelized to perfection while the pork chops cook through.
