Kalua Pig (Slow Cooker)

Ingredients

• 5 lbs Pork shoulder
• 2 tbsp Hawaiian sea salt
• 1 tsp Liquid smoke

Instructions

1. 1Using your hands, rub the 2 tbsp of Hawaiian sea salt evenly over all surfaces of the 5 lbs of pork shoulder.
2. 2Carefully place the salted 5 lbs of pork shoulder into your slow cooker. Pour the 1 tsp of liquid smoke evenly over the pork shoulder.
3. 3Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook the pork on the LOW setting for 8 to 10 hours, or until the pork is very tender and can be easily pulled apart with forks. The internal temperature of the pork should reach at least 195°F (90.5°C).
4. 4Carefully remove the cooked 5 lbs of pork shoulder from the slow cooker and place it on a clean cutting board or in a large bowl. Let the pork rest for 10 minutes; this allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist.
5. 5Using two forks, pull the pork shoulder apart into small, shredded pieces. Return the shredded pork to the slow cooker with the cooking juices and mix well until the pork is thoroughly combined with the juices.
