Yummy Pulled Pork in the Instant Pot
For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
Cook delectable pulled pork in about an hour in your Instant Pot! Cut a 3-to-4-pound pork butt roast into four pieces. Prepare a rub of two tablespoons brown sugar, a tablespoon of cumin, a tablespoon of chili powder, salt and pepper to taste, and two teaspoons smoked paprika. Rub that mixture evenly over the meat pieces. Heat two tablespoons canola oil in the Instant Pot on SAUTE mode, then brown the meat on all sides for about five minutes. Turn off the Instant Pot, and add a 16-ounce bottle of your favorite barbecue sauce and 1/2 cup apple juice (for a total of about 2 and a half cups liquid). Set lid to SEALING and secure the lid. Set Instant Pot to Manual (or Pressure Cook, High) to pressure cook for 45 minutes. When pressure cooking is complete, allow a natural release for 15 minutes. Remove the meat from the pot, let the sauce thicken up on SAUTE mode for about 10 minutes. Pull the meat apart with a fork and then pour about a cup of the sauce over the meat. Serve on soft white bread (King’s Hawaiian rolls are perfect!) Serves 4-6. Yum!

…wonderful video, great job Theresa! Thank you!
Nice.
Lucky son.
Thank you so much this was Delicious made perfectly I drive tractor-trailers I’m an OTR driver It’s very hard for me to stop and small little barbecue joints because I haul 53 foot trailers so this is very convenient for me to just make pulled pork in my truck if it’s OK with you I would like to make some recipe requests on how to cook other things thank you again
Thanks Lady! I am making this today after church and will let you know how it turns out!
I plan on doing some coleslaw topped pork BBQ sliders with a side of my grandma's recipe for Southern potato salad. We are excited! Again Thank you! I liked and Subscribed!!
Omg you nailed it! You seem like an amazing mom. Sadly mine passed away when I was in high school, but your laid back and loving personality reminds me if her and I thank you for that.
Should the time be adjusted down if I'm making a smaller amount//piece of pork shoulder??
Hello everyone..here is an update. Purchased a pork roast butt _ 4 lbs. I followed her instructions (same liquid, bbq sauce, searing, etc) with exception to adding a bit of creole seasoning to the rub. This recipe was outstanding. I followed her suggestion and ate the pulled pork on Hawaiian rolls, and 2nd day just ate it on Hawaiian buns….this is a must try!! Wow!
Wish I were your son. XD
Excellent viideo. ..thanks!
Thanks look so good,
Hi Theresa, Tonight I christened my 3qt Instant Pot with your pulled pork recipe. Your use of the apple juice was brilliant, cause that's what I had in my fridge along with a bottle of BBQ sauce and 1.5lb pork rib end. It came out AWESOME! I can't get my wife to eat anything from the Instant Pot cause she's still mad I outdated her old Crock Pot, but she'll come around. Thanks for the great starter meal!
Was that the reduced down liquid you put on the pork or more BBQ sauce? Sure looked thick so had to ask.
Where did you get the white serving tray? I love it! Great recipe!!!
Just made it and loved it. I must say the whole family loves it. I could only imagine your an awesome mom.
Thank you! I can't wait to make this tonight.
Mine doesnt have a natural release button. What do i do?
Will this be the same if my roast isn't from Boston? Mine is just a pork butt roast
Just made your pulled pork recipe on July 4th. It is tender and delicious! Thank you.
Awesome video
i finally opened up my IP and this was the 1st thing i cooked and it came out AWESOME!! i cooked this bbq pork on Sunday, June 30, 2019. Thanks
thanks
What's the difference between pushing manual and meat/stew?
AWESOME recipe and a great video with very clear instructions. I am off to try mine now. Thank you for this!
Don’t use canola oil. That stuff is cheap & nasty oil that causes inflammation!!
great video .. thank you 🙂
I've always bought pulled pork from containers at the store, but never thought to make my own until now. I have an instant pot and will definitely be trying this recipe. Looks so good, thanks so much!
Thank you for this recipe!! We just tried it for dinner tonight and it was awesome!! 💕🥂🇨🇦
It must be 5 o’clock there…🍷
Hi where is the recipe
This was my first recipe I've made with my instant pot and WOW it was amazing! I ended up using apple cider vinegar instead of juice and some nice brioche buns. Hubby had seconds! Thanks!
Thankyou for this video, my self and the wife are trying all insta pot recipes that we can, ready for when summer gets here.
You didn't mention if it should be on low pressure or high pressure, other than that I have followed your instructions, smells great !
Refreshingly real. Made me smile The pork is in the pot. Thanks Theresa!
You have a lucky son! What a nice mom!
What size pot is this please?
Its a lot easier to identify and cut off the fat before you cook the meat.
Gonna give this a go today, it looks amazing. I might try getting a sear on a hot grill with a dry rub but will follow your recipe to a T after. Thanks for posting!
I got a burn notice. I had to stop cooking clean the pot and start over again.
I'll be trying this tonight, hope your son had success with his! I am a little late to the IP bandwagon, but I am glad to be here! This will be my first attempt, and I'll be following your recipe!!
Excellent video – very thorough. You're a great teacher!
Just watching this (and this is the 4th one I’ve watched) thinking, “Why is this lady so f**king smart?” She did almost exactly what I’d do:)
Is it falling apart ?
One of the best IP videos for beginners I have seen. Thank you so much for showing step by step on how to use the IP.
I made this for our dinner today. Yummy!!!
Nice!!!!
