INSTANT POT© UPDATE: Since sharing this recipe, we have tested it using a pressure cooker (we have the Instant Pot). Making pulled pork in a slow cooker or crockpot is easy, but we still have a few tips for you, so you make it best.
As the pork cooks, the fat melts and sort of self-bastes during cooking. It’s also well marbled with fat, which prevents the pork from drying out while cooking.
It’s a relatively tough cut and does well when cooked over an extended period. We start with a pork shoulder - also called pork butt or Boston butt. It’s delicious served alone or add a bit of your favorite barbecue sauce. Our recipe makes pork that’s tender, full of flavor, and juicy. It’s easy to do and is the ultimate make-ahead meal. Pulled pork is perfect for the slow cooker. Related: Here’s our recipe sharing How to Make Tender Pulled Pork in the Oven and our Crisped Up, Tender and Juicy Carnitas!
