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 the cooking process, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
- Season the pork generously: Use a flavorful rub or marinade to add flavor to the pork. Common ingredients in pork rubs include brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Cook the pork on low and slow: The key to tender and juicy pulled pork is to cook it on low and slow heat. This allows the connective tissue to break down and the flavors to develop.
- Add liquid to the slow cooker: Adding liquid to the slow cooker helps to keep the pork moist and prevents it from drying out. Common liquids used in pulled pork recipes include water, broth, apple cider, or beer.
- Shred the pork when it is fall-apart tender: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. The pork should be easily shredded and should fall apart into tender pieces.
