Pork is a versatile and flavorful meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. Slow cooking is a great way to tenderize pork and create a delicious, fall-off-the-bone meal. If you’re using an Instant Pot, you can cook pork in a fraction of the time it would take in a traditional slow cooker.

- Use a good quality cut of meat. The better the quality of the meat, the better the results will be.
- Season the meat generously. This will help to enhance the flavor of the pork.
- Add some liquid to the pot. This will help to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out.
