Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it is well-marbled and has a good amount of connective tissue, which breaks down during cooking and makes the meat tender and juicy.
- Use a flavorful rub: A good rub will help to add flavor to the pork and create a crispy crust. Some popular ingredients for a pulled pork rub include brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin.
- Cook the pork slowly and low: Pulled pork is best cooked low and slow, so that the connective tissue has time to break down and the meat becomes tender. The ideal cooking temperature is between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a meat thermometer: A meat thermometer is essential for ensuring that the pork is cooked to the proper temperature. The internal temperature of the pork should reach 205 degrees Fahrenheit before it is removed from the cooker.
- Let the pork rest before shredding: Once the pork is cooked, let it rest for at least 15 minutes before shredding. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Hawaiian pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion.
