Easy Pressure Cooker Pulled Pork
This Easy Pressure Cooker Pulled Pork is so tender it practically falls apart. Served on a bun with a smoky, sweet barbecue sauce, you get the flavor of slow cooked pulled pork in a fraction of the time by cooking in an Insta Pot.
Making Pulled Pork in an Instant Pot
An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create these delicious Pulled Pork!
This is a pressure cooker twist on a popular slow cooker recipe. The recipe has only three ingredients (not counting the water) and is ready in less than 1/3 of the time, with the same delicious results and set it and forget it ease.
I haven’t made my own barbecue sauce much because my husband and I really like KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce. It’s smokey and sweet, with just a little kick. If you prefer a homemade sauce, definitely use it.
I browned the roast to bump up the flavor a bit, but you could skip that step if you’re in a hurry or feeling a bit lazy. (Some days are just like that.)
I used my stand mixer to shredded the pork instead of forks. It’s quick and easy, but be sure and remove as much fat from the pork as possible before shredding it in the mixer.
Pulled pork is great because it makes enough to feed a crowd, or if you don’t have a crowd to feed, it freezes well too.
Don't substitute a leaner cut of meat with this recipe. The pork shoulder will release lots of juices and fat and your meat will be extra tender and flavorful. If you're making it in a stove top pressure cooker you may need to increase the water if your pressure cooker loses a lot of liquid during cooking.

I came home with a bone in shoulder. Think that’ll be an issue?
Hi Erin – not a problem. The bone makes it harder to cut into two pieces, but it will work well.
I have a question. I am wanting to use pork loin instead of the shoulder will this still create the same amount of juice? Also I didn’t want to add bbq sauce do I need to increase the water since I would not be putting the 2 cups of bbq sauce?
If you don’t want to use BBQ sauce, I would use root beer or apple juice or some other flavorful liquid. You’ll want to use at least 1 cup with a 6 quart or 2 cups with an 8 quart. You can use pork loin, it just won’t be as flavorful as using shoulder. Although lots of people do enjoy it with pork loin.
Love how simple this is for a quick dinner!
