It\u2019s so incrediby easy and it turns out perfect every time.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pork:\u00a0<\/strong> Pay attention to the size of your roast. If you get a roast larger than 6 pounds (8-12 pounds) you\u2019ll want to increase both the salt and the liquid smoke. Too little can leave your pork tasteless. The amazing flavor comes from the salt and liquid smoke. For a larger roast increase the salt and liquid smoke by 1-2 teaspoons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rinse and Trim: <\/strong>Rinse and pat your roast dry to ensure the flavor \u201csticks\u201d to it. Trim your roast of large chunks of fat, and place fat side up in the slow cooker, the fat will baste the rest of the roast as it cooks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pierce: <\/strong>Poke the roast with a fork all over before rubbing in the salt and liquid smoke to increase the flavor inside and out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Liquid Smoke:\u00a0<\/strong>It is recommended by some Islanders to use hickory liquid smoke for an authentic flavor, but mesquite is just as good. It\u2019s mostly personal preference.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time:\u00a0<\/strong> I know I\u2019ve said it before, but truly the longer you can cook it the better. This will work if you start in the morning and let it cook all day. It may not be quite as tender, but will still taste amazing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Top view of the shredded kalua pork in the slow cooker.\" class=\"wp-image-248344\" title=\"Tender slow cooker kalua pulled pork is salty, smokey melt-in-your-mouth perfection.
