Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork. It is a fatty and flavorful cut that will become tender and juicy when cooked slowly.
  • Trim the pork: Remove any excess fat from the pork shoulder before cooking. This will help to reduce the amount of grease in the pulled pork.
  • Season the pork: Rub the pork shoulder with a mixture of spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This will help to flavor the pork and create a delicious crust.
  • Sear the pork: Before cooking the pork in the slow cooker, sear it in a hot skillet. This will help to brown the pork and lock in the flavor.
  • Add liquid to the slow cooker: Add enough liquid to the slow cooker to cover the pork shoulder. This can be water, broth, or a combination of both. You can also add other ingredients to the liquid, such as vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Cook the pork on low: Cook the pork shoulder on low for 8-10 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender. You can also cook the pork on high for 4-6 hours, but the meat will be less tender.
  • Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. You can also use a meat shredder to make this task easier.
  • Serve the pulled pork: Serve the pulled pork on buns or tortillas, with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include barbecue sauce, coleslaw, and pickles.

Conclusion:

Slow cooker pulled pork is an easy and delicious meal that is perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and tender pulled pork that everyone will love.
