Thanks for sharing. I had a pork shoulder and was looking for an alternative to my usual pulled pork recipe. I cut most of the excess fat off first, substituted white wine for the water and mixed fresh lime juice in with the orange juice. I’ll probably use less liquid next time. Browning the meat at the end was definitely worth it! I may never make pulled pork again!

Hi Anita – when you brown first, a lot of the browning gets cooked off in the liquid, which is great if you’re making a gravy. But with this recipe you get more flavor on the meat if you brown after. Enjoy!

Most pressure cooker recipes that I have seen always tend to brown the meat/poultry first. Of course, if you are using an Instant Pot, you can use the saute function and do everything in the same pot. Just wondering.

Thanks for sharing Betsy! I’m sure you’re right about just using the OJ. Merry Christmas 🙂

I browned the chunks first and used only one jalapeno as I was worried two would be too spicy. After tasting it though, I think I could’ve handled two as they mellowed significantly during cooking. I think next time I will omit the water. I think the amount of OJ would be enough to bring it to pressure. Looks like this will be Christmas eve dinner – yum.

Hi Joan – yes, the saute mode is perfect for sautéing meats. Here’s more about the IP buttons https://www.pressurecookingtoday.com/instant-pot-duo-and-smartcooker/ Have fun!
