This Instant Pot Pulled Pork recipe tastes like it’s been simmering away all day, but it’s ready in a fraction of the time! It’s so delicious and versatile that you’ll want to make it a regular on your menu plan.  It’s definitely one of our family of nine’s most requested recipes!  (Pst… it’s also great at cook outs and picnics!)

We love Instant Pot Pork recipes! Some of our favorites include Instant Pot Pork Roast & Gravy and Super Easy Instant Pot Ham.

If you’re interested in a slow cooker version, try out our Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork Recipe.  It’s equally as delicious and super simple as well!

INSTANT POT PULLED PORK RECIPE

Pulled pork is so amazing in so many ways. Tender shreds of yummy pork roast or tenderloin seasoned to perfection…what could be better, or more versatile?

Not having to spend all day cooking the pulled pork is pretty nice too! With your Instant Pot, this recipe is ready in a fraction of the time.

WILL THE INSTANT POT PULLED PORK BE TENDER ENOUGH?

Usually, pulled pork is cooked low and slow for hours, resulting in a roast that literally pulls apart with forks. With the magic of pressure cooking though, this is accomplished in under an hour! You will get the same tender, delicious shreds of pork without having to start your dinner before you’ve finished breakfast. Works for me!

WHAT SHOULD I SERVE WITH INSTANT POT PULLED PORK?

One reason I love pulled pork is because the options are almost endless. You can serve it on a roll or with cornbread muffins, or you can ladle it over mashed potatoes or polenta. It makes a yummy filling for baked potatoes or sweet potatoes, and it’s delicious over pasta or rice. Get creative!

WILL INSTANT POT PULLED PORK FREEZE WELL?

This pulled pork recipe freezes very well! I suggest making extra if possible, or making some as part of your weekly or monthly meal prep. Then, it’s easy to pull out of the freezer whenever you need it!

Happenings from our family of 9

Recently we went on vacation with the whole family including the two college kids!  We had a formal dinner and was fortunate enough to get this picture after we ate.  I post a lot of pictures of my kids, but I its not too often I get a chance to show off my whole family in one photo.  We made some great memories!

Testimonials

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
