You have an opportunity to sink you teeth into pork that’s been cooked this way, it’s an experience that’s simply a festival of flavor you’ll never forget. The pork shoulder is the best cut of meat to use for pulled pork due to the high fat content and flavor. It cooks up tender and juicy with pressure cooking in the Instant Pot. Creating a delicious dry rub for your Instant Pot pulled pork is very important. Then after your pork soaks up the spices, it’s ready to go into the Instant Pot. There is no other work besides shredding your pork for sandwiches. You can use frozen pork for this recipe, just increase the cooking time. As a general rule, if you are cooking fresh pork at 20 minutes per pound, you will want to increase the time to 30 minutes per pound for frozen.
