Tips:

Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a good amount of fat that will render down and keep the meat moist. You can also use pork loin, but it will be a bit leaner.
Season the pork well: A good rub will help to flavor the pork and create a crispy crust. You can use a store-bought rub or make your own. Some popular spices to use in a pork rub include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
Cook the pork on low heat: This will help to tenderize the meat and prevent it from drying out. Cook the pork for at least 8 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. You can also use a meat shredder to make this task easier.
Serve the pulled pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular choices include coleslaw, baked beans, potato salad, and cornbread.

Conclusion:

Slow-cooker pulled pork is a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for a casual get-together or a special occasion. With a little planning, you can have a tasty and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy.
