Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Trademarks referred to herein are the properties of their respective owners.
  • Tip 2
    This pulled pork works well stuffed into tacos or pitas, served over rice or mashed potatoes, or piled on buns.
  • Tip 3
    Cutting the pork in several large pieces allows the meat to cook quickly and evenly in the pressure cooker.
  • Tip 4
    When releasing pressure naturally, it’s always a good idea to set the pressure valve to VENTING after the float valve drops down, just to be sure all of the pressure has been released.
