What Makes This Recipe So Great
Practical Cooking Tips
- Add a small amount of liquid like water or broth to help the Instant Pot build pressure.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy and easy to shred.
Step 1
Place the roast in your Instant Pot or any pressure cooker you have. Give it a good rub with Hawaiian sea salt, then poke the meat all over with a fork or a sharp knife to let the flavors soak in. Drizzle some liquid smoke on top for that authentic smoky flavor. Seal the lid and set the cooker to high pressure for about 2 hours. It’ll take a bit of time for the pressure to build up, around 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 2
Once it’s done, let the pressure release naturally—this usually takes about 15 minutes. Open the lid carefully and take the roast out. If you want, skim off some of the fat from the meat, then use two forks to shred it up gently. Pour the cooking liquid through a fat separator to remove excess grease, and drizzle the flavorful broth over the shredded pork before serving.
