INSTANT POT® PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub the dry rub mixture all over the trimmed shoulder roast. Pierce roast with a fork to help seasoning penetrate meat. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add olive oil. Cut pork into 4 to 6 pieces and add to the hot oil. Cook a few pieces at a time until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer cooked meat to a plate.
• Add chicken broth to the pot and deglaze the browned bits from the bottom by stirring constantly with a whisk until smooth. Turn Instant Pot® off.
• Add water, apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons tomato paste, onion, and 2 tablespoons ketchup. Top with browned pork. Close and lock the lid, making sure the vent is closed. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 60 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Remove meat and onions and cover to keep warm.
• Set Instant Pot® to saute and add remaining tomato paste, remaining ketchup, and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Use a ladle to skim excess fat from the top of the liquid and discard it. Cook until sauce is reduced in volume by about 1/2, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, use 2 forks to shred cooked pork into small chunks. Serve meat as desired, topped with the thickened sauce.

INSTANT POT PULLED PORK WITH PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Plug in your pressure cooker and add the avocado oil. Press the Sauté button and wait a minute or two for it to heat up. Add the red onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
• Unwrap the pork shoulder from the netting (if applicable) and lay it out on a cutting board (it will likely be folded over on itself or contain multiple pieces, so lay it all out). Sprinkle all sides with sea salt, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
• Move the onions off to one side of the Instant Pot and place the pork shoulder in the IP. Allow it to brown 3 to 5 minutes, until it has a nice crisp on it. Flip the roast over and brown on the other side another 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining ingredients to the Instant Pot. Secure the lid and select "Manual." Make sure it's set on the high pressure setting and adjust the time for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Leaving the steam valve closed, allow the Instant Pot to do its thing. Once the time is up, allow it to naturally release for at least 20 minutes (up to 1 hour).
• Remove the lid, and transfer the roast to a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the meat (it should fall apart very easily! I often just use tongs to shred the pork).
• Transfer the shredded pork back to the Instant Pot and allow it to sit in the juices until ready to serve.
• Note: If you'd like crispy shredded pork carnitas, heat a skillet over medium-high heat on your stove top and add a thin layer of shredded pork. Pan fry it, stirring occasionally, until the pork becomes crispy and golden-brown.
• Use pineapple shredded pork for tacos, burritos, burrito bowls, or serve as-is with side dishes.
