I must have missed this at the time. I didn’t get my instapot until last year for my birthday, so I probably skipped over it. I have great exact porkchops in the freezer to do this with., except I think they may be bone in chops. Does that make a difference? Or do you know? I’m sure I can google it if you don’t. Oh, and Congrats on making Miz Helen’s page. Even if it was a while ago. That’s awesome!!

I would add an additional 7-8 minutes for bone-in chops, depending on how thick they are.
Thanks for the congrats!
