Notes
If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can also cook the pork loin in a slow cooker. Place the pork loin in the slow cooker and pour the Worcestershire sauce mixture over it. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the pork is very tender and shreds easily. You can also cook the pork in the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F and place the pork loin in a baking dish. Pour the Worcestershire sauce mixture over the pork and cover the dish with foil. Bake for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until the pork is very tender and shreds easily.

Recipe Tips
This Instant Pot Pulled Pork Loin is a great make-ahead dish. Once the pork is cooked and shredded, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. You can also freeze the pulled pork for up to three months. To reheat, simply thaw the pork in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
If you want to make a larger batch of pulled pork, you can easily double or triple the ingredients. The cooking time will remain the same, so you can make a big batch in just minutes.
For a spicier pulled pork, you can add more chili powder and/or a few dashes of hot sauce. You can also add a variety of other spices and seasonings, such as cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper and more.
