That's a cute little helper.
I just bought my insta pot and I forgot to pull out my roast can you make this worth a frozen roast boneless? How long do you recommend I cook it for?
Sear your meat in the instant pot first and then add liquid and cook 🙂
This little baby girl is so big now, and we get to watch baby Levi grow up…so sweet!!!
Nice job I am trying to write my menu thank for the idea. you are awesome.
My broiler is broken now I'm going to starve!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't mind some fat in this dish:
After cooking separate the muscles and scrape off all the fat and connective tissue, (I use a dinner knife) then render all that down in a skillet. Remove all the crispy bits. Now saute the shredded carnitas in the fat in the skillet. If you like, chop the crispy bits from the rendering process and throw them back in as well. High fat and high flavor!
THANK YOU so much for this!!!!! Such a help!
I have to make 20 pounds and freezing for a party coming up would you suggest not broiling until the day of party or just skipping the process.
I literally just got back from the store and scored a great deal on a pork roast. I'm going to make this for the hubs this week for dinner, he works 2 jobs and his hours are crazy, the Instantpot has saved me so much time and work for my husband's meals. I'll let you know how it turns out Nili!!
I'm on a see food diet. I see food, I eat it.
You can even use one of those gravy strainer cups (looks sort of t like a teapot, but with the spout arm joining at the bottom of the cup) to separate out the fat from the broth.
I'm thinking pan-frying might not be bad instead of the broiling, for the pulled pork. Use a bit of that pork fat to grease your pan.
I dont eat pork..can you make it with beef?
Hi Nili! Great idea using the broiler, carnitas should be a little crispy. But I would save a little of that spice rub and sprinkle some on before broiling. But that's just me. 😁
And Carnitas is fried
I watched this video when you posted it and yet it took me almost 2 years to actually make it. Not sure why I didn’t make it sooner. It’s so good!! Turned out perfect!!
This makes me wonder if tamales could be made in the IP
Pour some of that juice on top of the meat before broiling
I just recently purchased an instant pot. But I seem to over cook everything!!!! Help
I always add just a little bit of milk, no more than 1/4 cup to pork pieces as they fry. Tip from Ninfa in Texas. Her restaurants always added that touch of dairy.
I follow ur recipe and made my first IP dish. Delicious!! My hubby used to make Carnitas from scratch 3-4 hours. Both him and my two teenagers approved. 3 lbs was not enough for them. We added one onion and 2 bay leaves to your recipe. Thank u!!!
I do my pork roast that size for 60 min. The difference is that I add 1/2 A Liter of Dr Pepper and the most important step is cut roast into 3 sep chunks. This allows for it to be ready in 60 min and not have to overlock. I do the same — not too much spices As I use I use for burritos, nachos, tacos. Etc. you can use diet Dr Pepper with stevia.
Have you ever tried to add rice and cook it the same time as the meat?
Hmm, that sauce would be great. Let the fat solidify. Remove the fat & place the broth into a pan. Cook it down with a little more seasoning. Maybe a touch of hot sauce. They drizzle over the meat…LOL
How would you cook fish, steamed or other ways, in the instant pot? I am thinking about purchasing one.
i think your baby is super cute, i want that baby!
I just made this for dinner and it was so yummy!! Love your instapot videos!!!
Thanks, Nili. I made this and my husband loved it! Please post more instant pot recipes.
