• We prefer this pulled pork in slider buns, topped with lots of coleslaw.
• We also like it next to scrambled eggs for a weekend brunch.

Awesome recipe. Such great flavor!
Sauce was a little runny but very tasty.
Instrucions suck and does not reflect the actuall instapot
Great recipie! Easy to make my only suggestion is to add some apple butter bbq sauce on the bun and it is perfect!
Turned out delicious!
Tasted kinda plain. Did not have much flavour so all in all it was okay…
Easy way to cook pulled pork!! Needs more spice added to the rub. Sauteing the sauce needs more sugar or honey so it caramilses, other than that its great!!
The meat was so tender, the flavor was amazing. The only downside was the sauce in the pot left from cooking was very acidic so we used our own bbq sauce.
Meat is good just dry. Sauce will be thin even after condensing.
Best pulled pork I have had!
Falls apart
Loved it so much! There was a lot of juice, though. Took me more than 20 minutes of sautéing on high to reduce the excessive liquid. But! The result was “oh, my…”
We’ll make it every week!
Whole family loved it!! No bbq sauce needed!! So great with slaw!!! Meat was super moist and so flavorful, def my new go to for pulled pork, maybe even gonna try chicken deer and beef with this recipe!!!
Great dinner, the whole family enjoyed this
Delicious!
Lots of flavor.
So much good to eat.
I had only a frozen roast that i slow cooked with rack, some water ok the bottom and some jar bbq poured ok top of meat for 4.5 hours then pressure cooked it without rack for 20 mintues with some more sauce and some of the recipe spices. Did the reduction of the sauce at the end and everything cooked perfectly! Just wrote this review to give you an idea of what to do if only frozen roast
The apple cider vinegar caused it to be quite acidic so I didn’t end up using the liquid as sauce and used BBQ sauce instead. It sat for about 2 hours before we got home and ate so this may have played a factor. Will definitely make again – the meat was very tender and the flavor with our favorite BBQ sauce was awesome.
So good! The spices were right on and even my pickiest eater loved this dish. We ate this on the buns, as suggested, and are looking forward to nachos the next time we do this! YUM!!
I thought the sauce was smokey yet not very flavorful. It could have been just a bit sweeter despite using the Hawaiian rolls.
My youngest daughter is very picky. She was literally eating this straight from the pot. I will continue to make this! Thank you for sharing!
Got the pork at Fresh Market and made the recipie last night. It was easy and delicious and i recommend it. I cut fat off before I cooked I and got more off, easily, after cooking it. The pulled pork was raved about by all!
It was good. I would try it again. Maybe add a bit of bbq sauce to it. I liked it but it felt like it was missing something
I havent madw this yet but reading the reviews. One said apple cider vinegar was too acidic. Recipe calls for apple cider, not vinegar.
Yum! A big hit with the family. At the end when I boiled down the sauce, I added some honey and a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce.
Way too apple cider vinegar flavor for me. My daughter wouldn’t eat it, husband ate it smothered in sweet bbq sauce. A real bummer, this took some time to prepare and im a bit dissapointed.
Hi lucky9lives7,
The recipe calls for apple cider, the juice, and not apple cider vinegar.
I see several posting about Apple cider vinegar..it’s not vinegar- it’s just Apple cider.
Sooo good
This was great! Was ready to make this and didn’t have Apple Cider. So I mixed Apple Cider Vinegar, Apple Juice, a little water & BQ Sauce; then adjusted as I TASTED it. Didn’t notice until I read Reviews that recipe called for Apple Cider (not the vinegar). Used “Pressure Cooker Option”. WOW Meat was moist and flavorable. We like vinegar-based BQ sauce. Thanks for publishing this recipe.
Felt like this had no flavor? Maybe its becaise I couldnt find apple cider and just used apple juice? My husband liked it though! I probably would not make this recipe again.
Had a hard time getting my sauce to boil down so we added flour. Maybe thatsbwhy it felt like it didnt have much flavor.
Cooked this in the instant pot mini, following the pressure cook method. Meat was very tender and juicy. Flavor wasn’t the best and very strong/overbearing for me. Decent meal.
Excellent and its up there if not the best pulled pork I have ever had.
Good pork but the flavor is not strong.
Made this tonight in 2 batches- as I had a 6 lb. pork roast. As many said – the meat was super tender and flavor was not overwhelming. As I didn’t have cider, the liquid was apple juice… but I tried to simmer /reduce it on the stove after the end of the cooking as it was far from a sauce. We used BBQ sauce and mustard on sweet Hawaiian rolls!! 🙂
i want to make this tonight! do i put my meat on the trivet or leave it in the juices at the bottom?
You can do both. This recipe recommends not using the trivet and to place the pork directly in the apple cider. .
Hardly any flavor. Took quite a while to make. Mediocre at best.
Loved it! I loved the sweetness from the apple cider and just enough barbecue flavor. We added just a very small amount of barbecue sauce at the end. I don’t like pulled pork that is totally sauce overdone.
Says total time 1 hr 10 mins. After completely done it took over 2 hrs. Lets just say, dinner was an hour late and we were starving by the time we were sitting down to eat.
It says total time 1 hr 10 mins. After completely done it took over 2 hrs. Lets just say, dinner was an hour late and we were starving by the time we were sitting down to eat. My kids and husband did eat it and likes it so that’s the only reason i give it 3 Stars. I will probably make it again but not on a weekday when I won’t have 2 hours to make it.
I added the same apple wood seasoning that i use to smoke a butt to mine, flavor is awesome
Flavor is lacking. It took way linger than 1hour 10 mins. Needed BBQ sauce at the end. I doubt ill make it again.
Recipe is very misleading. Says cooktime is 1 hour total time 1 hour 10 min, but with anything other than a max pressure cooker it has to cook for an hour and 20 min then naturally pressure release for 30 min then a few other steps.
Hi Bressler6515,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry you found it misleading as we are only able to show 1 overall cook time. This recipe has three different ways of making it depending on your model.
I dont even like pulled pork. This was awesome and easy.
I am a diabetic and need to know nutritional values of the food I eat, especially the carbohydrate count per serving. Please post on your recipes. Thanks
Hi Patti,
Thank you for the feedback.
We only have the nutritional values for certain recipes if they were provided to us.
Even the ones we have on our site are not exact as the nutritional values are estimates and can vary depending on the brand of ingredients you choose.

As an Instant Pot newbie I was confused by the instructions. When Option 1 mentioned Max Pressure I didn’t realize until too late that it was a reference for a type of Instant Pot. I have the Duo 60 so U fall into Iption 2. Also if you are lazy like me and don’t want to skim fat it will take longer to reduce the sauce. That being said it came out quite tasty but yes it took about two hours. Hope this helps.
Tasty & easy.
Everything went well with the recipe so i will definitely use it again. I used Option 1.
Delicious flavour. Meat was tender and moist. Not saucy like most pulled porks but that didn’t matter.
For my taste, it wasn’t sweet enough. The smokey paprika did that trick, but personally (I know I am picky) I like more sauce and sweeter. I wont be making it again without some adjustments to ingredients.
Not as sweet as some pulled pork (a good thing). Agree w comments that the sauce didnt seem to want to thicken… even added a bit of cornstarch. Was still very tasty- would make again for sure!
Should I have used the rack or just put the neat directly into the pot? I used the rack and the meat was kinda hard to shred.
Um…OOPS….for some reason my brain read Apple Cider vinegar. I questioned that and then when the whole kitchen smelled of vinegar I knew it was gonna be bad. I had a huge chunk of pork shoulder that I cut in two pieces and this only affected the smaller chunk. But all was not lost. I made the second chunk with just water. I didn’t want all the pork with one flavor. I cooked both pieces for 1.5 hrs and let it natural release for an hour. It was Sunday and I had the whole day to do this and was not in a hurry. SO, the little vinegary hunk turned out fine after I smothered it is sauce.I didn’t even need a fork to shred, I could literally do it with my fingers. It is moist and delish! I love that I didn’t have to brown it first as in other recipes. In fact there are a bunch or recipes out there that say don’t bother browning. I think I will never brown meat again! I might change up the rub for future use as I like to experiment. This recipe was a winner despite my mistake!
I made this, but used McCormick Pulled BBQ seasoning which called for cider vinegar, ketchup, and brown sugar. Delish!
Added hot honey at end to add some kick. Used regular during saute and then smoked before serving
INCREDIBLE.
Amazing, thats all i have to say
It was easy to make and pretty yummy. It was not the best I have ever had but I looked for recipes starting at 5pm and had shopping and dinner ready by 7pm. No complaints.
So hard to find something for the whole family to enjoy, they love this!
First time ever making pulled pork. We’ve had the instant pit for a few weeks now and LOVE the great recipes on this app!!
Not as much flavor as southern pulled pork recipe
After an hour and 20 min and then sit time to release in my Duo, my pork butt was still very tough. The flavor was good on the outer pieces but not sure whether the inside was not cooked enough or the whole thing was overcooked??
Delicious and easy to make
My very first crack at using an instant pot. I was very nervous about trying this but we LOVED IT. My wife even went for seconds. An “instant” success. Will definitely make this recipe again.
Definitely the best pulled pork I have ever tasted!!!
And the easiest to make!!!
Thank you for this recipe.
Great meat flavor just needs more salt for sure
This was pretty good. The pork shoulder cooked perfectly on the meat/stew setting for 80 minutes. It was super tender and pretty flavorful. I added twice as much brown sugar due to some of the other comments for this recipe but it still was more spicy than sweet. Next time I’m going to halve the amount of chili pepper and paprika and triple the brown sugar and see what I think then. Overall, a very quick and delicious recipe though.
Its really over 2 hours to make this
Absolutely delicious!! Very easy to make, it cooked perfectly in 1 hr and 20 min. The whole family loved it .
Made a pork broth with the trimmings as I smoked the tenderloin on the grill. Seasoned with smoked sea salt, smoked paprika, smoked chilli powder, and chipotle powder….along with the seasonings in the recipe. Used apple juice rather than cider. Cooked pork in broth, then pulled and slow cooked again an hour. Twas AWESOME!!! Will make again.
Too much vinegar! Wound up not using the gravy but put some BBQ sauce on the meat and it did the trick.
Yum! Easy! Tender! I would change nothing about this recipe.
The apple cider in this- can a carbonated alcoholic apple cider be used?
Unfortunately the pork burned on the bottom of the pot, so the instant pot never came to pressure, so the whole thing just burned and was kind of ruined. Be careful with how you lay your food in the pot
What a delicious dish! Thanks for sharing this recipe. For anyone who asked for Instant Pot accessories, check out this Amazon store – https://amzn.to/3rzTm7K
