Seasoning the Pork Chops
Begin by seasoning your pork chops generously with salt and pepper. This step ensures that the flavors penetrate the meat, making each bite savory and delicious. 🌟 -
Breading Process
Take out two shallow bowls. In one bowl, combine the egg and milk, whisking until well blended. In the other bowl, place the cornflake crumbs.- First, dredge each pork chop in the cornflake crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
- Next, dip the crumb-coated pork chop into the egg and milk mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Finally, dredge it once more in the cornflake crumbs for an extra crispy coating. Set aside the breaded pork chops on a plate.

Heating the Pressure Cooker
Preheat your pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add the shortening and allow it to melt and heat up. The shortening helps in achieving a beautiful golden brown crust on the pork chops. 🥄 -
Browning the Pork Chops
Once the shortening is hot, add the breaded pork chops to the pressure cooker. Brown them on both sides until they achieve a lovely golden color. This step not only enhances the flavor but also locks in the juices, ensuring tender and moist pork chops. 🥩 -
Cooking in the Pressure Cooker
After browning the pork chops, pour in the 1/2 cup of water. Secure the lid of the pressure cooker, making sure it is properly locked. Place the pressure regulator on the vent pipe. -
Pressure Cooking
Allow the pressure regulator to rock slowly, indicating that the pressure is at the right level. Cook the pork chops for 12 to 14 minutes under pressure. This precise cooking time ensures that the pork chops are cooked through and tender. ⏱️ -
Releasing the Pressure
Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure drop naturally. This means you should not force the pressure release; allow it to drop on its own accord. This gradual release helps in keeping the meat tender and juicy. 🕰️ -
Serving
Carefully open the pressure cooker and transfer the pork chops to a serving plate. Serve them hot with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the crispy, succulent breaded pork chops that are bursting with flavor! 🍽️
This recipe is sure to become a family favorite with its perfect blend of crispy coating and tender meat, all achieved effortlessly in the pressure cooker. Bon appétit!
