Recipe FAQs
Two things to remember when cooking this dish. First, it’s best to use a cooking liquid, like water, beer, or wine, when pressure-cooking to come up with a tasty sauce. Second, the pork pressure-cooks at high heat only for one to six minutes, but releasing pressure could take a couple more minutes.
