Top Tips For Making the Best Instant Pot Pork Loin Roast

• Preheat your Instant Pot before sauteing to ensure a good sear. The pot is ready when the oil begins to smoke.
• Please don't flip your roast multiple times while searing it. Get good color on one side, then flip once.
• Letting your Instant Pot vent naturally after cooking the roast is essential. This continues to cook the roast to super tender perfection.
• Use cold water to make your cornstarch slurry, and whisk vigorously to avoid lumps in the gravy.

Instant Pot Pork Loin Roast FAQ

What is an Instant Pot?

An Instant Pot is what's known as a multi-cooker. That's really a fancy way of saying it's an electric pressure cooker.

How do you cook a pork loin so it doesn't dry out?

The secret to a tender, juicy pork loin is searing it first to create an exterior crust that traps the juices. After that, cook the roast on lower heat to prevent dry meat.

Why is my Instant Pot pork not tender?

The usual culprit for dry Instant Pot pork tenderloin is quick-releasing the pressure. It's important to let the pressure release naturally so the loin can continue to cook and the juices can redistribute.

What can I serve with pork tenderloin?

Pork tenderloin is delicious with your favorite vegetables and mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice. You can even make sandwiches with it!
