The ease of this recipe would not be made possible without the Proctor Silex 3 Quart Simplicity™ Pressure Cooker. It is the perfect size for cooking for small households and can be used for so many different things like quick soups, hard boiled eggs, rice, burrito bowls, and pulled pork! What I love most about this pressure cooker is the simplicity. Growing up my Mom used her slow cooker for most of our dinners. This is like similar but the cooking time is much faster 70% faster. Easy for a quick meal when there isn’t much time. This kitchen tool is multifunctional and can be used to steam, sauté and slow cook and unlike other pressure cookers, the TrueSlow™ technology makes sure your food isn’t overcooked thanks to a gradual rise in temperature.
As many of you know, I try to share easy and healthy recipes. This pressure cooker brings easy to a whole new level! I really liked how quick it cooked the pork and how easy it was to shred after cooking. Pulled pork is one of my favorite things to make in this instant pot. I usually get the carnitas from Aldi but decided to add my own twist to a classic recipe with a summer twist to it! Adding the pineapple gives the pork a burst of flavor and this would be great for your next gathering, poolside party, or family dinner.
