19 Pork Recipe Ideas

Searching for gluten-free meals can be quite overwhelming, especially if the topic is new to you. This post is a resource for you to find gluten-free pork options (or easily made gluten-free), that use a multi-function pressure cooker, such as Instant Pot or GoWise (and some even have slow-cooker options).

Whether you are looking for a use for pork ribs, pork shoulder, bacon, ham or sausage, you can find inspiration here.

Important Note

If you are cooking for another individual that requires gluten-free, please discuss the extent of their sensitivity to make sure you fully understand their condition (some people with Celiac disease cannot tolerate cross-contamination). I will update this page with a link (once available) to a practical resource page, written by someone with decades of knowledge on the topic.

 

Gluten-Free in the Instant Pot

Instant Pots, and other similar electric multi-function pressure cookers, have an amazing way of making gluten-free so easy. This is one kitchen devices that gets used regularly in my house. I’ve become so infatuated with these devices that I now have three of them: One 12 quart GoWise and two Instant Pots (one 6 quart and one 8 quart). You can find a full list of recipes that use these amazing devices at KFO Electric Pressure Cooker/Multi-function Cooker Obsession and Recipes page.

 

Showcasing Recipes Create by Others

I reached out to those in the food blogging community for recipes that use electric cooking appliances (such as the Instant Pot or other similar electric pressure/multi-function cookers), and got a great response! Today, I wanted to showcase 19 recipes that use the Instant Pot (or other electric pressure cookers) to cook gluten-free pork recipes, and give you some options.

There is a link provided to each recipe, so that you can go directly to the gluten-free pork recipe that you want to try. I’ve even tried to take note of various additional dietary notes (such as paleo, Whole30, etc.), but please read the linked recipe for yourself to make sure. If you find ways to convert a recipe to be friendly for your dietary restriction, please comment with what worked for you.
