Notes
- Store leftover BBQ pork in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Ensure that you leave the lid on the slow cooker during the entire cooking process so no steam escapes and disrupts it.
- Trim the pork roast if it has large patches of fat on the outside. If it doesn’t, you can leave it as is.
