Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use bone-in lamb chops for extra flavor and juiciness.
• Don't overcrowd the Instant Pot. If necessary, cook the lamb chops in batches.
• Let the pressure release naturally for at least 10 minutes before quick-releasing the remaining pressure. This will help prevent the lamb chops from becoming tough.
