Cant wait to try pulled pork in my IP. My next up is bourbon chicken. Then perhaps pulled porked for New Years Eve. Have you any special tips for pulled pork??
My husband uses this recipe, but just for the dry rub:

He cuts the pork into largish pieces, and rubs them all over with the dry rub. Let it sit for a while, and then put it in the Instant Pot with a cup of water (no rack), a little liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Then he pressure cooks on high pressure for 90 minutes.
After you take the pork out, shred it in a large baking pan, drizzle some of the liquid over the meat, and crisp under the broiler for about ten minutes. (Not right up against the broiler, but in the middle of the oven.)
We don’t cook it in a sauce, but have sauce on the side.
Sometimes I ask him to add orange and lime peel and juice, because we had tried a slow-cooker Carnitas recipe that used those and it turned out great.
The Instant Pot isn’t like a slow-cooker - it doesn’t water-down flavors like slow-cookers do.
For pulled pork, I have had great results by cooking with a can of root beer. Plus your usual onions/spices. When done, disgard the liquid, shred pork, add sauce. Great taste.
