Pulled pork from the multicooker

Pulled pork is the kind of dish that used to take you half a day in the kitchen. With a multicooker that story is completely different. You season the meat, put it in, and switch it on. Hours later you pull the meat apart with two forks and your kitchen smells delicious. That's stress-free cooking.

The secret is low, even heat. A good slow cooker or multicooker with a slow-cook function keeps the temperature stable for hours, letting the connective tissue in the meat slowly break down so you get that characteristic stringy texture. The result: meat that literally falls apart and is full of flavor. Serve on a soft bun with coleslaw and a dollop of BBQ sauce and everyone will be happy.

  • Cutting board
  • Two forks
  • Paper towels
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg pork shoulder (boneless or bone-in)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp chili powder (more to taste)
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper

  • 100 ml chicken stock

  • 6 soft brioche buns

How to make pulled pork from the multicooker?

    1. Mix the brown sugar, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and black pepper in a bowl until you have a dry rub.
    2. Pat the pork shoulder dry with paper towels and rub it all over with the rub. Ideally let the meat rest covered in the fridge overnight, but half an hour is fine if you're in a hurry.
    3. Pour the apple juice and chicken stock into the multicooker pot. Place the meat on top. The liquid keeps the meat moist while it cooks.
    4. Set the multicooker to the slow-cook setting and set it to low for 8 to 10 hours, or high for 5 to 6 hours. Put the lid on and let it do its work.
    5. Carefully lift the meat out of the multicooker and place it on a cutting board. It's almost falling apart already, so handle it gently. Remove any bones or large pieces of fat.
    6. Pull the meat apart with two forks. Do this slowly and enjoy how easily it comes apart. Spoon in a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid for extra juiciness.
    7. Stir the BBQ sauce through the meat and taste to see if you want to add more salt, pepper, or sauce. Serve on soft brioche buns with coleslaw and, if you like, pickled red onion.

Pulled pork is the ideal dish for a busy day or a relaxed weekend. You do ten minutes of work in the morning, and by dinnertime there's something on the table everyone comes back for. Leftovers store easily in the fridge and only get better the next day, in a taco, on a pizza, or just straight from the pan.

A multicooker with a slow-cook function is exactly the kind of appliance that pays for itself. You pay once, and year after year it produces something tasty with minimal effort. Quality doesn't have to be complicated. Sometimes it's just knowing which appliance you let do the work.
