Notes
- Let it rest: Allow the pork to rest for a few minutes before you shred it to ensure maximum juiciness.
- Use a thermometer: If you are unsure if your pork shoulder is cooked properly, check it with a meat thermometer. For safety, it must reach a minimum of 145 degrees F.
- Cut the pork shoulder: Instead of cooking it whole, you may slice it into smaller chunks. You will need to adjust the cooking time for this so it doesn’t dry out.
- Adjusting the consistency: If the stew doesn’t have enough liquid after shredding, add a ½ cup of beef broth. Some crockpots don’t seal well or can lose their seal over time, causing them to lose moisture during the cooking process.
