Notes
One serving for nutrition facts is approximately ¼ pound.
Want to make it plain? Just season with salt and pepper and omit the barbecue sauce. You can add ½-1 cup water or broth for more moisture.
Cook it low and slow. Pulled pork is most tender and juicy if you cook it on low for a longer time (rather than cooking it at higher temps for shorter times). The pork tenderizes as it cooks, and juices are released.
Why vinegar? Vinegar is a meat tenderizer, so it makes the meat nice and tender and juicy, and also adds a nice little acidic tang.
If you have an extra minute, brown the outside of the pork in a large skillet before cooking in the slow cooker. It'll add a little extra flavor.
Reheating Instructions: You can reheat your pork quickly in the microwave in a microwave-safe dish.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freezer Directions: To freeze, allow to come to room temperature. Then transfer to a freezer bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and follow reheating instructions.
