Notes

  • Slow cookers all cook things at different rates. You want to make sure that you don't overcook your pork as it will dry out. The pork is cooked when it easily shreds with a fork.
  • If you like your food with a kick of heat, add some red chilli flakes or chipotle paste which adds some smokiness too.
  • If there is a lot of juice in your slow cooker after you take the joint out to shred, then you might want to remove some of the mixture before putting the shredded meat back in.
  • Adding some liquid smoke really gives it an incredible flavour.
