Wow! This looks delicious and easy to make. I really think this is a meal that my whole family would love – even my very picky young daughters!
This looks and sounds delicious. I bought an Instant Pot about five months ago, and have still not used it. I really need to get over my worries and just try it. I keep seeing so many recipes on line.
You had me at pineapple. But then seeing that this is a simple Instant Pot recipe. YES! That makes it a winner in my books. My son in law isn’t fond of meat cooked with fruit but I just made him a pork dish with peaches that he loved so I bet I could win him over with this recipe too.
Have to say that we haven’t jumped on the insta-pot bandwagon just yet. I’ve heard lots of wonderful things about it and seen lots of recipes. However, your recipe caught my eye because I love all these ingredients. I may just have to run out and buy one now!!
Pork tenderloin is always a hit in my family! I love cooking with pineapple too! This is perfect and I can’t wait to try your recipe! It looks so good!
This looks fantastic! I’ll be honest and say I haven’t used my Instant Pot much after a scary incident where the lid came off too soon. Luckily I had a high potholder covering my hand and arm or that situation would have ended very differently. I definitely need to get back into using it though because there are so many amazing looking dishes, like this one!
Such a great recipe! I love literally anything with pineapple and this looks simple enough to make.
Oh my gosh, how beautiful is this dinner. I am really interested in knowing how amazing this recipe actually tastes. I would love to make this, I like how effortless this dish is to prepare.
It seems like there is not enough liquid to build up pressure. Is there supposed to be more liquid?
Maybe it is because of the marinated pork we use but it seems to be plenty with the pineapple juice and oil. If you are concerned you could always add more of the pineapple juice from the can.
