Whether you’re looking for the set-it-and-forget-it ease of a crockpot or want to cut the cook time in thirds by pressure cooking, here’s one pot to rule them all. So bring on your pork butts, your pork carnitas, or your favorite barbecue pork recipe, and jump on the multicooker wagon!howtoinstantpot.com/). Here, the electric pressure cooker feature delivers a tender Mexican-flavored pork shoulder in a mere 45 minutes.

**Cooking Tip:** The recipe will produce plenty of extra cooking liquid. Place any extra liquid in the refrigerator overnight. Remove and discard the fat that solidifies atop the liquid and use the cooking liquid — diluted with water if necessary — to cook beans. The liquid can be placed in a zip-top bag and frozen for up to three months.
