Tips & Notes

Slow Cooker: We recommend cooking for 6-8 hours on low for tender pork,
however, if you are in a rush you can cook the pork on high for 2-4 hours.
Instant Pot: If you’d like to make Instant Pot Carnitas, turn your Instant Pot to
the saute function. Add olive oil to the bottom and sear all sides of your pork for 1
minute. Then, turn your Instant Pot off and add garlic and a little more olive oil to
your Instant Pot. Close lid, turn the valve to seal, and cook on manual high for 60
to 90 minutes. Once the timer has gone off, quick release your Instant Pot to let
out the steam. Shred and add the rest of the carnitas ingredients. Option to follow
THIS recipe.
