Notes: Tips for Sweet and Tender Pulled Pork
Choose a large cut of meat to prevent dryness. You want to reduce the amount of meat exposed to the heat to preserve the moisture within.
Add some liquid smoke. If you want your pulled pork to have that traditional smokey flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of liquid smoke to the pork before seasoning it with rib rub. Just rub the liquid smoke onto the pork and then coat it with seasonings.
Cook low and slow. You may be tempted to put your crockpot on high and cook your pork butt or shoulder for less time, but that is honestly not ideal if you want your pork to be tender. A fatty piece of pork needs to be cooked low and slow, to allow for the tendons to break down, for the pork to come out juicy and tender.
