Hi RM. I tried this instant pot pork chop recipe last night. It was perfect! I used to grill or pan fry pork chops. Grilling really depends on mood and season, while pan fry usually creates a mess in the kitchen (hubby a clean freak!). But this instant pot is just what I need. Just want to say thank you and keep up the good sharing.

Are you sautéing the sauce with the pork chops still in the instant pot?
Rasa Malaysia
Yes, you can, or you can remove them first and just reduce the sauce. Whichever is easier for you. :)
Annette Cook
This looks great! Do you add the heavy cream at the beginning or end for the slow cooker?
Rasa Malaysia
For slow cooker, I am not sure if the heavy cream would curdle, so you can add towards the end to be safe. :)
