NOTES & TIPS

(1) Pork. In the U.S., “pork shoulder” usually refers to the pig’s lower shoulder, and “pork butt” (also called “boston butt”) refers to the pig’s upper shoulder. Either cut is fine for this recipe. If yours contains bone, select pork that’s at least 4 pounds so that you have enough meat to work with, and ask the butcher to remove the bone for convenience (or remove it yourself at home). If your pork is significantly smaller or larger than specified in this recipe, check your pressure cooker’s max capacity (Note 2) and scale ingredients appropriately (Note 4). I haven’t tested this recipe with pork loin or tenderloin, but they should also work well.

(2) Pressure Cooker Equipment. I use a 6-quart I use a 6-quart Instant Pot . Other sizes of electric pressure cookers should also work as long as all ingredients fit within the maximum capacity.

(3) Sealing Pressure Cooker. Before cooking, remember to seal the pressure cooker by turning the pressure knob from “venting” to “sealing,” otherwise the pot will not pressurize.

(4) Pressure Cooking Time. If you scale the ingredients up or down to accommodate a different number of servings, the pressure cooking time remains the same as long as the pork pieces are roughly 2 inches each.

(5) Cooking Liquid. This excess liquid will not be used for this recipe. If desired, freeze the liquid in a container to save for later. Use it in place of broth in highly-seasoned chowders or soups, like This excess liquid will not be used for this recipe. If desired, freeze the liquid in a container to save for later. Use it in place of broth in highly-seasoned chowders or soups, like Instant Pot split pea soup

(6) Serving. I recommend serving with your favorite barbecue sauce. I use my I recommend serving with your favorite barbecue sauce. I use my homemade keto bbq sauce , which is sugar-free and low in carbs. If you’re not up to making your own, you can buy sugar-free bbq sauces by brands like Walden Farms, G Hughes, and Guy’s. To make this a low carb meal, serve with a side of coleslaw or savory jalapeño cornbread . Or save the pulled pork to make burritos using low carb wraps by Mission, alongside a simple salsa

(7) Leftovers. Pulled pork leftovers keep well, and taste even better the next day. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator, and reheat using the microwave with a cover so that the meat remains moist and doesn’t dry out.

(8) Nutrition. The calculation assumes each serving has 4 ounces weight of cooked pork. Much of the original raw weight is lost due to trimmed fat, bone, and liquid released during cooking.
