How about some of this Hawaiian pulled pork for Super Sunday?Pulled pork goes Hawaiian with this easy Instant Pot recipe.

Instant Pot Does Pulled Pork Quickly

Pulled pork is a really popular lately. Years ago, it was a long process either in the oven or slow cooker.

It was always quicker and easier to make in the pressure cooker, since it takes much less time. However, years ago, your only pressure cooker choice was a stovetop model. There’s lots of old wives tales about these pots. I’ve used stovetop models without any issues for years, but with the advent of electronic models, the process is a lot easier.

Pork butts usually take about 90 minutes in a pressure cooker so keeping a watch on a stovetop model is pretty tedious (you have to adjust the heat lots of times). The electronic models you can set and forget and that’s a great improvement.

Pulled Pork Goes Hawaiian

The regular way to flavor this is pretty good in itself, but how about changing things up a bit?

Pork goes with anything Asian or Polynesian like these pineapple glazed ribs so why not go Hawaiian with a nice pineapple-based sauce. If you’re into themed dinners for family fun, make it a luau night and serve this.

Something else that’s worth mentioning here is you can save yourself cleaning up extra pots because you can use your Instant Pot’s saute function to reduce the sauce. When the pork is done, remove it, drain off the water and wipe the pot dry. Then you’re ready to go with the sauce.

Shredding It

You’ll have to let the pork butt sit a while before you start shredding it because it will be super hot.

You can shred with two forks but I’ve found the most efficient way is to cut off sections and shred with my hands (clean of course!). When you do this by hand, you can pull out any fat or connective tissue that you might miss with the fork method.

Just a hint but you might want to double the sauce recipe so there’s extra for dipping or if the family likes the meat extra drippy.

    Wow the hawaiian pork looks so amazing, can I make this same recipe using cast iron dutch oven, instead of instant pot?
