Instant Pot Pulled Pork in under 45 minutes
I love making Pulled Pork in the Instant Pot because it is ready in under 1 hour. The meat is juicy and falls apart...perfect for pulled pork sandwiches!

- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 Boneless pork shoulder, pork butt, or picnic roast cut into large chunks
- ¼ Cup BBQ rub
- 1 Cup water
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Brown the Pork Shoulder
Set your Instant Pot to high sauté. Toss the chunks of roast in the BBQ rub. When the Instant Pot is hot, add the oil, then ½ to ⅓ of the pork chunks. Let the meat cook on each side for about 1 minute or until browned. Continue with the rest of the meat. Remove from the pot and set aside.
Pressure Cook the Pork
Add the trivet in with the water, then add the pork chunks on top of the trivet. Seal the lid, make sure it is on "sealing", and set the cook time for 15 minutes at high pressure. Allow a 10 minute natural pressure release, then release the rest of the pressure.
