  1. I made 6 single serve freezer meals from this recipe. I put the 1″ thick pork chops in baggies and the other ingredients in a freezer container. I only had a 20oz pineapple can but used it between 6 servings. Cooking from frozen I seared the frozen chop on both sides first before adding the apples mixture. I was worried that it wasn’t going to be enough liquid for my mini IP so I added a little water. I didn’t need to, and won’t next time. The fruity liquid turned into a yummy gravy. I cooked it at 18 minutes pressure for the 1″ thick pork loin chop. I had it with rice and spinach for sides.

  2. I did 3 lean chops with mine and cooked them for the 10 minutes and they came out so dry and over cooked. I was rather sad. The sauce was delicious though. I am not a huge fan of pork so was never going to be a favorite but I think the dish has potential just going to have to play with the cooking time next time.

    1. Thanks so much for sharing, Jeri! Pressure cooking does have some variables to it and changing serving sizes and size of Instant Pot will warrant changes. If you find a way that works for you, please come back and let us (and other members) know, as well as what size IP you’re using. 🙂

  3. I followed the instant pot directions from frozen (with the timing prescribed), and parts of my pork chops were still raw where they were touching each other! I had to bring the IP back up to pressure to cook 4 minutes longer, then did a quick-release. The pork was done, but some parts were dry, alas.

    Next time I’d also do more cornstarch — my sauce was still pretty runny (but my canned pineapple may have been more generous with the juice? Who knows). Overall not a bad meal, but not one we’re itching to make again.
