Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Slow Cooker Pulled Pork.
Step 1
To create a mouthwatering pulled pork in your slow cooker, start by pouring water and cider vinegar into the pot, then set it to Low.
Step 2
While that warms up, take your pork shoulder and rub a generous amount of oil all over its surface.
Step 3
Let it sit for about five minutes to soak in the flavor.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, seasoned salt, black pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a hint of cinnamon.
Step 5
This spice blend is your secret weapon, so rub it all over the pork shoulder, ensuring every inch is coated with that delicious mixture.
Step 6
Now, gently place the seasoned pork into the slow cooker, cover it up, and let it work its magic for 6 to 8 hours on Low.
Step 7
You’ll know it’s ready when the pork is tender and practically falls apart.
Step 8
Once it’s cooked to perfection, transfer the pork shoulder to a cutting board and allow it to rest for about 10 minutes.
Step 9
This step is crucial as it helps retain the juices.
Step 10
After resting, discard the cooking liquid from the slow cooker, then return the pork to the pot.
Step 11
Using two forks, shred the pork into delightful pieces.
Step 12
Finally, stir in your favorite barbecue sauce until everything is well combined, and get ready to enjoy a delicious meal that’s sure to impress!.
