Truth be told, I have been making pulled pork – slow cooker style – for about as long as I can remember. However, it wasn’t until recently that I learned a flavorful tip that I cannot wait to share with you!

Crock Pot Pork {Pulled}

I was flipping through America’s Test Kitchen’s Slow Cooker Revolution and saw their recipe for Beginner’s Pulled Pork and I was intrigued. The recipe called for cutting your pork roast into quarters before seasoning and placing in the slow cooker. I had one of those “why didn’t I think of that moments” and have totally been quartering my roasts ever since!

Now, America’s Test Kitchen’s recipe also calls for you to wrap your seasoned roast in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight but I don’t always have time for that and while I am sure that would enhance the flavor, it turned out perfectly delicious without that step.

Freezer Friendly

This is one of those great recipes that makes a ton of meat that can be used for any number of things… sandwiches, tacos, casseroles, salads, etc. I like to take about half of my roast and freeze for later use. It is so nice to just be able to grab it out of the freezer and warm it up on a busy night.

 Slow Cooker Recommendation

We made this delicious pork in my 6 qt slow cooker. Most 5-6 qt slow cookers should work just fine with this recipe. Since the pork roast is quartered, it could likely fit in a smaller size slow cooker as well.

      Hi Carol!

      I honestly just add it to taste. We probably added 1/4 cup to ours.

We love hearing from you, it totally makes our day! Please remember, our comment section is much like our dinner table... You don't have to like everything we serve up, but you do have to use your manners.
