Instant Pot Barbecue Pork Shoulder
  1. 1

    Season the pork butt with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place it in a 4- to 6-quart pressure cooker. Add enough water to cover. Close the lid and bring it to 15 pounds of pressure; this should take 10 to 15 minutes. Cook for 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Release the pressure and drain the juices, keeping about 2 cups. Shred the pork and mix it with barbeque sauce, adding some of the reserved liquid if needed to reach your preferred consistency.
