Equipment

  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Oven

Ingredients

  • 4 lb pork shoulder
  • 2 Tablespoons oil
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 ounces coke
  • bbq sauce

Instructions

  • Cut the meat into four pieces after trimming the superfluous fat.
  • In a small bowl, combine the spices. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork. (This can be finished the previous evening.)
  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Around the pork in the Dutch oven pot, pour coke. Cook for three hours with a lid on the pot. Take off the lid and continue cooking for a further one to two hours, or until the pork is soft and falls apart with a fork. Discard the oven and shred the meat. Adding barbeque sauce is optional.
  • Pour coke around the meat in the slow cooker after placing it there. When the pork is soft and readily shredded with a fork, cook it covered on LOW (prefered) for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
  • Pour coke around the meat in the instant pot after placing it in. Cook for 70 minutes on Manual/High pressure. Allow the pot to naturally release pressure for another 15 minutes after the timer chimes. Shred the meat and remove the lid.
