Hello, it’s 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder.

Hi, you sear it for approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
Set the steam vent to “Sealing.” Press the “Manual” button and adjust to the High Pressure setting, if necessary. Adjust cook time to 30 minutes. (Select 40 minutes for 4+ pound roasts). When the Instant Pot® cook time is complete, do a natural release for 20 minutes before doing a quick release of any remaining pressure and remaining steam.

I’ve made it so many times; but prefer the method where you sear the pork first, and it was a much shorter cook time in the instant pot before the edit. How long is the time to cook if you sear it first like in your previous recipe? Thanks so much!
