2. Nestle in the meat, cover, and cook on HIGH for 7-8 hours or LOW for 10 hours, or until the pork is very tender and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the pork to a large baking dish or rimmed sheet pan, discarding any large pieces of fat.

4. Use two forks to shred the pork into 1-inch pieces. Generously brush the meat with reserved liquid.
