FAQ's

Here are some frequently asked questions (and answers!) about cooking pork loin in an electric pressure cooker.

How do you know when pork tenderloin is done?

The easiest way to check if pork tenderloin is done is by using an instant read thermometer. The internal temperature of pork tenderloin should be 145-degrees.

Is it OK for pork tenderloin to be pink in the middle?

Absolutely, as long as it's cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F as stated above.

How do you keep pork loin from drying out?

Place it in the pressure cooker fat side up. As it cooks the fat will slowly baste the meat as it drips down the sides.

Storage

Refrigerate - store leftover pork in an airtight container. It will last in the refrigerator 3-4 days.

Freezer - this recipe freezes great!

    The recipe title is for instant pot pork loin and the recipe picture looks like pork loin but the recipe instructions are for pork tenderloin. Which is correct pork loin or pork tenderloin? Would love to make this with the correct cut of meat.
