Is Instant Pot better than the stovetop method?

Instant Pot is a huge time saver for recipes that ordinarily take four hours or longer to cook. This is why this pork and sauerkraut dish is a perfect choice for an Instant Pot. 

To make this dish on the stovetop, you would have to cook it for more than 6 hours. However, by using the Instant Pot, the pork is so tender that you can shred it with a fork in just over an hour. 

The best part, once you start the Instant Pot, you can walk away, and your meal will be ready whenever you want it.

When using the Instant Pot for soups, stews or pork and sauerkraut, you don’t have to be at home to turn it off. After the cooking is completed, the Instant Pot will keep everything warm, and the flavours will intensify.

So when you are ready to enjoy the pork and sauerkraut, there is no need to worry about releasing the steam or adding other ingredients just before it’s done. 

Using Instant Pot for this Pork And Sauerkraut dish is the easiest cooking method by far. And the pork and sauerkraut meal is rich and more flavourful than if cooked under pressure.

Did you know that pressure-cooked vegetables may retain up to 90 percent of their vitamin C and other nutrients?

How to serve pork and sauerkraut?

This classic German dish is often served with delicious rye bread. Don’t have rye bread on hand? No worries, here is an easy gluten-free Dutch oven bread recipe. This bread goes exceptionally well with the pork and sauerkraut. 

I prefer to serve the pork and sauerkraut with parsley potatoes. The parsley potatoes make this naturally gluten-free dish hearty and satisfying.

If you are following a low carb or keto diet, serve the pork and sauerkraut just as is. The stew-like dish is hearty and delicious on its own. 

add some toppings for extra goodness…

For extra deliciousness, add your favourite toppings such as chopped parsley, yogurt, sour cream and if you like spiciness, add some cayenne pepper.
