Common Questions About Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders

Why use a slow cooker for this pork recipe?

Slow cooking is a game changer for achieving incredibly tender pork. The low and slow process allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, and it transforms the pork into a fork-tender masterpiece.

What if I don’t have apple cider vinegar?

Apple cider vinegar provides a tangy counterpoint to the sweetness of the barbecue sauce. If you don’t have it, you can substitute with white vinegar or even lemon juice, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.

Can I use store-bought barbecue sauce?

Absolutely! Homemade bbq sauce has its own unique charm, and my favorite bbq sauce is definitely homemade. Even so, using your favorite store-bought barbecue sauce is a great way to save time and still create delicious pulled pork.

Storage

Pork sandwiches are great for leftovers. You can make the sweet pulled pork and have it ready to go the next day or whenever your next gathering is planned!

Refrigerator

Leftover pulled pork can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a saucepan over medium heat or in the microwave before serving.

Freezer

For longer storage, freeze the pulled pork in an airtight container or a freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat before serving.

Tips

Here are a few pointers to make this pork slider recipe easy peasy!

• Be sure to trim excess fat from the pork before slow cooking to avoid overly greasy pulled pork.
• For best results, make sure to cut your pork into large chunks for even and faster cooking.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and hot sauce based on your preference for heat.
• To avoid dry pulled pork, add a little apple cider vinegar or chicken broth when reheating.
• Consider toasting your Hawaiian rolls before assembling your sliders for an extra crunch.

How to Make Slow-Cooker Pulled Pork Sliders

You’ll know the pork is ready when it is fork tender and just falls apart. I’ve found that the pork shoulder roast is the best cut of pork for this. Feel free to try other cuts, though, and see what you like best!

1. Cut the pork into large pieces and place them into a slow cooker sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Add the apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, hot sauce, salt, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
3. Cover and cook on low for 12 hours or on high for 6 hours.
4. After cooking, shred the meat using two forks, discarding excess fat and bone.
5. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
6. Place the bottom halves of the rolls into a 9×13 dish.
7. Add a thick layer of pulled pork, and if desired, a layer of barbecue sauce.
8. Cover with the top halves of the rolls.
9. Tent the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 to 30 minutes.
10. Cut the sliders apart and serve immediately.
