How Long to Cook Boneless Pork Picnic In A Pressure Cooker?

How long does it take to cook a boneless pork picnic in a pressure cooker depends on the size of the pork picnic you are cooking.

I pressure cooked a 3.5 lb piece of boneless pork picnic for 90 minutes and let the pressure cooker release steam naturally for another 20 minutes.

My boneless pork picnic was cooked perfectly fork tender and fell apart as I took it out of the pressure cooker.
