*I purchase these frozen at my regular supermarket. The most mutual build is Goya. I defrost them overnight inwards the fridge earlier use. Save the remaining leaves for other recipes similar my pork gummy rice.

If you lot would similar to purpose a 6-quart tedious cooker for this, follow the same instructions exactly ready for 8-10 hrs on low.


My thoughts:
Like pretty much everyone I've talked to inwards the final pair of months, I ordered an Instant Pot when Amazon had them on sale on Black Friday. I lucked out because I missed the flash sale exactly was able to snag an Amazon Warehouse bargain for entirely $66! That said, it is good worth the electrical flow cost every bit good because, dissimilar my stovetop pressure level cooker, it is less scary to purpose as well as is a 7-in-1 machine! So far I possess got pressure level cooked inwards it, sauteed as well as tedious cooked exactly I can't desire to build yogurt, Jiu Niang, beans, congee as well as grains inwards it. It was perfect for making kalua pork because it makes meat incredibly tender as well as moist (I wishing I had a film of the shredded meat for you, I volition update when I become inwards again) as well as entirely took ninety minutes, which is on the long side for pressure level cooking, to ready almost half dozen lbs of pork!

I was making this for our New Year's Eve Hawaiian extravaganza as well as it was wonderful to possess got something that required virtually no hands-on fourth dimension to serve amongst my mac salad land nosotros were busy making drinks as well as watching Elvis. Not to mention, it was the juiciest pulled pork I recollect I possess got e'er had! The pineapple juice added a chip of sweetness, exactly the banana foliage was the existent star. It added an authentic earthy, herbal flavour which is difficult to become without excavation a pit inwards your backyard, starting a mesquite fire, as well as thence lining the pit amongst hot rocks as well as banana leaves the way Kālua is made inwards Hawaii. H5N1 banana leaf-lined Instant Pot is the much easier option as well as quite flavorful!
