Ingredients

• 8 Pounds (lb) pork butt roast
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) garlic powder
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch pepper, to taste
• 4.5 Cups water
• 1.5 Cups apple cider
• 24 Ounces (oz) bottles barbeque sauce
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil, seasoned

Steps

1. Prepare the Pork: Season the pork butt roast generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
2. Brown the Pork: Heat the olive oil in a 4- to 6-quart pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Brown the pork on all sides to develop a rich crust, about 5 minutes per side.
3. Pressure Cook: Add the water and apple cider to the pressure cooker, ensuring the liquid does not exceed the maximum fill line. Close the lid and bring the cooker up to 15 pounds of pressure. Cook for 1 hour.
4. Release and Shred: Carefully release the pressure according to the manufacturer's instructions. Remove the pork and reserve about 2 cups of the cooking liquid. Shred the pork using two forks.
5. Mix with Sauce: In a large bowl, combine the shredded pork with the barbeque sauce. Add the reserved cooking liquid gradually until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Serve: Serve the pulled pork on fresh buns with coleslaw, or enjoy it on its own. For an extra touch, drizzle with additional barbeque sauce before serving.
