  1. My family loved these! They’ll be a staple from here on out. At first, I though the recipe was strange (sounded like 2 separate recipes accidentally thrown together), but I followed to the T and they were amazing! Next time I’m going to double or triple the kale/bacon mixture. Yum!

    1. Awesome! We are so glad that you loved them. (I will admit when the author submitted them I thought the same thing). 🙂

  2. How can the same time be required for both the make it now recipe AND the from Frozen recipe ? I am making this tonight from frozen and I am tempted to add 10 minutes to the cook time.

    1. We explain it fully in this article – https://onceamonthmeals.com/blog/series/instant-pot/instant-pot-tips-tricks-201/ – but the cliff notes are – it is going to take longer for the pot to come to pressure with the contents frozen because it is cold and there is more to heat up. As it is coming to pressure it is thawing. Since the pot will automatically take longer to come to pressure you don’t need to manually program it for longer.

  3. How is it 50 minutes for both make it now and frozen? I am making this tonight and I am thinking of adding 10 minutes since it’s feozen.

  4. Ok- we’ve been making this recipe now for a couple of years! My kids CRAVE it. This is going to sound dramatic, but I have to thank OAMM and Instant Pot for literally saving my daughter’s life. After a long period of undiagnosed illness and extreme weight loss (down to 83 lbs at 16 y/o) she was diagnosed with celiac disease. I didn’t know where to start. Per our functional doctors suggestion we went paleo. Being able to meal prep using OAMM Instant Pot Paleo Recipes was a literal life saver. I was able to prep tons of HEALING family meals along with individual size portions for my daughter to take to school and reheat in her Hot Logic mini so she’d never have to struggle to find safe food. This AIP pulled pork is still a fave after being on regular rotation for several years.
    PS my daughter has gained back all lost weight and is back to thriving. The power of food is miraculous!
