Equipment

  • 1 pressure cooker

Ingredients

  • 5 pound Pork shoulder boneless used, for bone-in remove the bone
  • 2 cups barbecue sauce

Instructions

  • Pour half of your bbq sauce into your pot. 
  • If you want to add a dry rub for bolder flavors mix together; 2 tbsp Lawrys + 1 tsp onion powder + 2 tbsp paprika + 1/2 cup brown sugar + 2 tbsp chili powder + 2 tbsp garlic powder. Mix together your spices and then rub it into your pork shoulder, top and bottom. 
  • Cut your pork shoulder in half and put it into your Instant Pot or pressure cooker.  (it comes out more tender when cut into smaller pieces)
  • Pour the remaining sauce over your piece of pork and set your IP to manual, pressure, high, for 90 minutes (for 4.5 pounds this made it very easy to shred).
  • When done do a natural release for 10 minutes, then release rest of steam and carefully lift lid. Shred pork with 2 forks and serve on buns with coleslaw for sandwiches.
