Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
I followed the directions exactly, but the pork was very tough and I couldn’t shred it. I chopped it with a large knife into small diced cubes instead. I have seen similar recipes since trying this which call for 8-10 hours of cooking time, so perhaps the 4-6 hours suggested here is insufficient to tenderize the meat enough for shredding.
Do you have to cook the roast in the marinade? It doesn’t seem like there’s enough to cover the roast and add flavor.
I actually put everything into a gallon sized ziplock bag in the fridge the night before and put everything into the slow cooker before leaving the next morning. That way I can massage the marinade into the pork loin & the flavor has the whole night to soak in.
Could you tell us what CUT of pork to use? There are many different things called “pork roast” and all have different fat content etc. which makes a big difference in the way it cooks, how moist it is, etc. It would be VERY helpful!
You will want to use a pork loin or tenderloin for this recipe. Often we purchase what is on sale.
So easy, so delicious. Have made many times. I het abstinence problems if I dont have it once a month. So cheap to make as well. Best version there is.
