What Are the Advantages of Using an Instant Pot to Cook Pork Loin?

Multicookers are easy to use and fast, making them perfect for weeknight meals. You can save valuable time with the help of an Instant Pot. Roasting a pork loin in an oven can take anywhere between 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the oven temperature. When using an Instant Pot, it only takes about 22 minutes to cook on High pressure. The cook time depends on the size and weight of the pork loin, and based on our testing we recommend using a 2-pound boneless center-cut pork loin (about 4 inches wide) for this recipe.

Is It Healthier to Cook Pork Loin in an Instant Pot?

There are many ways to cook pork loin, including grilling, smoking, roasting, searing in a skillet and finishing in an oven, or in an Instant Pot. When cooking in an Instant Pot, meat-based dishes retain their iron content and are shown to have decreased levels of unsaturated fats. Vegetable-based dishes, on the other hand, are affected by pressure cooking because their nutrients are sensitive to heat. It’s important to understand how pressure cookers work and which foods work best in them.
