Barbeque pork is a classic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is typically made with pork shoulder, which is a tough cut of meat that becomes tender and flavorful when cooked slowly. Pressure cookers are a great way to cook barbeque pork because they can reduce the cooking time by up to 50%. This means that you can have a delicious and juicy barbeque pork meal in a fraction of the time it would take to cook it in a traditional oven. In this article, we will share some of our favorite pressure cooker barbeque pork recipes, as well as tips and tricks for cooking the perfect barbeque pork.
Here are our top 5 tried and tested recipes!
PRESSURE COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK
A pressure cooker provides a nifty shortcut to perfect pulled pork. This recipe calls for braising the meat in a dark soda like Dr Pepper or Coca-Cola, and the results are lush and tender - savory, slightly sweet and tangy. Once the pork is done, you can customize it to your taste using your favorite barbecue and hot sauces. Adding lots of black pepper and a few dashes of Southern-style hot sauce, like Crystal, Louisiana or Tabasco, is a very good idea. Like many braises, the pork improves overnight and can be cooked up to three days in advance; shred and warm it gently on the stovetop before tossing it with sauce and serving. The pork makes satisfying sandwiches on soft rolls (try coleslaw as a topping), but it could also be used in tacos or served over grits. (You can find the slow-cooker version of this recipe here.)

Steps:
- Mix the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add the pork and turn to coat in the spice mix. Put the oil in a 6- or 8-quart electric pressure cooker and turn on the sauté setting to warm the oil. (Use the "normal" heat setting if your pressure cooker has that option.) Working in batches, add the pork and brown on two sides, about 2 minutes per side. If the bottom of the pan gets too dark or you get a "hot" or "burn" warning, turn the heat down to "less," if your pot has that option, or turn it off entirely and allow the pork to continue searing. Turn it back on if the pot cools too much.
- Add the onion to the pot. Add the soda and stir to thoroughly scrape up the browned bits at the bottom of the pot. Close the lid and cook on high pressure for one hour. Turn off the pressure cooker and allow the pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Open the lid. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the pork and onion bits to a large serving bowl. Using two forks, coarsely shred the meat. Add 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid to moisten. (Discard remaining cooking liquid.) Taste and add salt, pepper, hot sauce, and more barbecue sauce as you like. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a lot of connective tissue that breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and juicy.
- Use a good quality barbecue sauce: The barbecue sauce is what gives pulled pork its flavor, so it's important to use a sauce that you like. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
- Cook the pork on low pressure: Low pressure is gentler on the meat and will help to prevent it from becoming dry and tough.
- Let the pork rest before shredding it: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more flavorful and tender.
- Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides, such as coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, or cornbread.
Conclusion:
Pressure cooker pulled pork is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion.
