Now the important part of cooking with Instant Pot is you need at least 1 cup of liquid or your pot won't pressurize.
-
Make sure you have you everything ready to go with your Instant Pot. All you need for this recipe is the silver cooking pot and the lid.
-
Put your pot in your Instant Pot and add your 1 cup of chicken broth.
-
Set your Instant Pot to the Saute mode.
-
Slice open your Smithfield Boneless Pork Shoulder Seasoned Carnitas Pork Shoulder package and dump the contents in. I made sure I squeezed out all the seasonings and juices out the packaging.
-
Allow the meat to saute and start to brown, it happens a lot faster than you would think.
-
Be sure to flip the meat so the other side browns as well.
-
Once your pork is browned press the pause/cancel button.
-
Next press the manual button and then the plus sign to set the time to 30 minutes and seal up the lid.
-
Make sure the valve is set on sealed and allow to cook.
-
Once the time is done move the valve on the top to release the last bit of pressure and will go into keep warm mode.
-
Remove the cooked meat into a bowl and shred the meat for tacos.
-
Serve and enjoy!!! We served ours on yellow corn tortillas with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, pico de gallo, Spanish rice, and beans!
