How to make pulled pork in a slow cooker

You don’t need much liquid to cook pork in a slow cooker because it releases juices when cooking. I only use enough to season the pork and preserved pork juice, and provide extra barbecue sauce on the side.

If your slow cooker is too hot, you may need to add half a cup of water or broth, or you may need to replace the equipment. I also recommend checking your pork within five hours-if it is easily chopped, then it is cooked.

I used the smallest barbecue I could find because I made it for my family. Depending on the size of your pork tenderloin, you have to change how much barbecue sauce you add. Remember that pork shrinks when cooked, so you need to weigh the cooked pork. I add two tablespoons of barbecue sauce for every three ounces of cooked pork, and some reserved pork juices. (If your kids don’t like barbecue sauce, put some pork for them before putting the pork back in the crock pot.)

I used 6 quart Hamilton Beach Set’n Forget programmable slow cooker (affil link) Make this barbecue and pull pork. I like it because you can adjust the time you want the crock pot to cook, and it will automatically heat up when finished. It also has a probe for detecting meat, which will automatically shut down after completion. This slow cooker is amazing, I actually own several!
