Pineapples. Peppers. Pork. Three of my favorite ingredients combined to create one delicious dish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bust out your Instant Pot! Today we’re going to put a few different settings to the test. If you’ve ever wondered what your IP can truly do, this is a great recipes to get beginners familiarized with this wonderful device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have an Instant Pot – that’s totally fine. There are plenty of other pressure pots on the market. I’ll be referring to the settings on my own Instant Pot, which I know by now is antique in comparison to some of the models they have out there today. But nevertheless, the settings should be the same or pretty similar to most multi-cooker machines and pressure cookers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going SAUTE Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the features of the IP is the saute mode. It can be used for multiple purposed – sauting being only one of them! We will use our IP on saute mode to get the peppers and onions nice and softened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saute mode is great for getting that perfect sear. We want to sear our pork loin first to lock in all of the juicy flavors – and also add a little bit of color to an otherwise boring looking meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The saute mode is also great for thickening sauces. We’ll be using our IP on saute mode again at the end of the recipe to simmer the sauce until it is nice and thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the Perfect Pork<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You really want to make sure you have a nice cut of pork loin – I prefer the center roast cut because it is the most juicy. I don’t recommend using pork chops or thin cuts of pork in this recipe. Pork can overcook quickly and become chewy and dry. It’s best to use a full cut of pork loin rather than individual cuts in this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget to scope out your local butcher shops for the best cuts of pork loin. Usually you can find high quality center roast cuts for significantly cheaper than you can get in the meat departments at generic grocery stores. Trust me – you won’t regret going to a butcher!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
