Can I double this recipe for a crowd?

Yes, but make sure your slow cooker’s big enough. I once tried to fit a double batch into a smaller one, and let’s just say dinner was delayed, and we ended up having snacks first.

Can I use a different cut of meat?

Absolutely! This recipe works great with pork loin or even chicken. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly since they cook differently.

What sides go well with pulled pork sandwiches?

Several options can proudly stand beside your pulled pork. Think coleslaw, baked beans, or a fresh garden salad. And if it's a special occasion, don't forget about the cornbread!

How do I know when the pork is done?

Your pork is ready when it's fork-tender and shreds easily. A handy meat thermometer should read about 190°F.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the pork a day or two ahead, store it in the fridge, and reheat it just before serving. It’s a perfect way to ease the workload on a busy weeknight.
