The Best pressure cooker pulled pork recipe
I love making pulled pork in my pressure cooker because it saves so much time. This recipe gives you tender, juicy meat that tastes like it cooked all day but is ready in about an hour. My kids go crazy for it on soft buns with coleslaw, and I love that I can use a leaner cut of pork shoulder to keep it healthier. It is perfect for busy weeknights or feeding a crowd on game day without heating up the kitchen.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Pressure Cooker Pulled Pork
1. Do I need to sear the pork before pressure cooking?
Yes, searing adds a lot of flavor and helps the spice rub stick. It also gives the meat a nice crust that makes the final dish taste richer.
2. Can I use a frozen pork shoulder?
You can, but it will need a longer cooking time. Add about 20 to 30 minutes more on high pressure. Make sure the meat reaches an internal temperature of at least 200°F for shredding.
3. How do I get the pork to shred easily?
The key is cooking it long enough. The pork should be fork tender and fall apart when you press it. If it is still tough, cook it for another 10 minutes under pressure.
4. What can I serve with pulled pork?
It is great on buns with coleslaw, in tacos with pickled onions, or over rice with black beans. You can also use it in nachos or stuffed baked potatoes.
5. Can I make this recipe in a slow cooker instead?
Yes, just brown the pork in a skillet first, then transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until the meat shreds easily.
