I make this Group Pleasing Instant Pot Pulled Pork with Dry Rub recipe for almost each individual large get alongside one another we host at our household. It feeds a whole lot of men and women on the low cost. Use it for carnitas, burritos, rice bowls, nachos, salads,  pulled pork sandwiches, or for whatever your heart wants. Simply because of the dry rub, BBQ sauce is not desired (unless of course you actually want it). This meat is incredibly flavorful and exceptionally juicy.  

I love hosting functions at our household, but cooking for large quantity of men and women can at times be fiscally difficult. Pork butt while, the cut of pork that arrives from the pig’s higher shoulder location, is incredibly very affordable. I can usually buy a 9 pound pork butt for $eleven-fifteen, and it will serve 12-fifteen men and women. 

This pork is super tender and juicy. The dry rub results in exceptionally flavorful meat you do not have to have to include BBQ sauce to it (unless of course you want to). We use this meat in a selection of ways… from pulled pork sandwiches, to sliders, to rice bowls… tacos, carnitas, nachos, salads… etcetera. You can by no means go improper with this recipe. 

I don’t usually just make this pulled pork for functions. In some cases I’ll make it just for my household. It is excellent because we can eat off of it all week extended, and freeze whatever we have to have to for later on. The total household loves it! 

This recipe will work just wonderful in possibly an Instant Pot, or a gradual cooker (I have this just one), even though I want to use my 6-quart seven-in-1 Instant Pot. I ordered my Instant Pot in November 2015, and it’s been true love at any time considering that. 🙂 I only use my gradual cooker now when we have large gatherings, and I have to have to continue to keep some thing warm for serving. Really, I’d like to just get rid of it, but it does occur in helpful for parties! 

I come across that the Instant Pot keeps meat extra tender and juicy vs. a gradual cooker. It assists lock in the juices all through the force cooking, compared with the gradual cooker, in which some of the juices escape and evaporate though cooking. So if you have been on the fence about acquiring an Instant Pot, just do it. I guarantee you will not be sorry!

Group Pleasing Instant Pot Pulled Pork with Dry Rub

Serves: 12-fifteen servings

Guidelines

1. To make the dry rub, whisk alongside one another the coconut sugar, kosher salt, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, black pepper, dried oregano, and cayenne in a compact mixing bowl. Established aside.
2. Area the pork butt on a large reducing board and blot with paper towels. Applying a sharp knife (my most loved knife for reducing meat is this Worldwide chef's knife), trim the surplus extra fat from the meat (you don’t have to get it all, just the more substantial pieces of it). For bone-in, remove the meat from the bone, and discard the bone (unless of course you can freeze and use it for some thing else, like bone broth).
3. Slice the meat up into even pieces, about the measurement of your fist, and then location it into the Instant Pot bowl (If you have a several pieces that are lesser than the some others, it’s all right. This will most most likely come about if your pork butt was a bone-in just one.).
4. Pour the dry rub into the bowl and toss to coat the pieces of meat in the rub (I like to use a pair of tongs for this).
5. Increase the drinking water to the bowl, and then established the bowl inside the Instant Pot. Verify the ring on the Instant Pot lid to make absolutely sure it’s in the proper location, then click on the lid into location on the Instant Pot. Established the vent to seal.
6. Find “Manual,” which will exhibit 30 minutes of cooking time, and boost the time to a hundred and ten minutes. When the Instant Pot is done cooking, it will occur down from force the natural way, about 40 minutes (I do not endorse using swift launch with this recipe. Natural launch ensures tender and juicy meat.).
7. When the force is unveiled, open the lid of the Instant Pot and use a large slotted spoon to transfer the meat to a large bowl. Use two forks to shred the meat (it will be incredibly tender and shred effortlessly). Season with more salt to style.

Recipe Notes from Megan

TO MAKE THIS RECIPE IN A Slow COOKER:
Area the pork pieces in the bowl of a gradual cooker. Poor in the dry rub and then toss the meat to thoroughly coat in the rub. Cook on high for three-5 hours, or cook on reduced for 4-seven hours.

If you have the time to let the pork marinate in the dry rub, I highly endorse permitting it sit two-three hours in the fridge right before force cooking the meat. If you you should not have the time while (I generally you should not), go forward and skip this action.

You can possibly discard the cooking juices, or use it to spoon on to the cooked pulled pork. I usually spoon some of the juice back on to the meat, but discard the remaining.
