| Slow Cooker Kalua Pig | |
| 5-6 pound | pork butt roast |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | Hawaiian sea salt, (coarse sea salt) |
| 1 1/2 tablespoons | liquid smoke flavoring |
1. Pierce the pork roast all over with the tip of a sharp knife. Place the roast in a large slow cooker and rub the salt all over the meat. Drizzle the liquid smoke over the meat.
2. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low Heat for 16 to 20 hours**, turning the roast over once half-way through the cooking time. Depending on how hot your low setting is on your slow cooker, you may or may not need the full 20 hours. When the meat easily shreds with a fork it is ready.
3. Remove the meat from the slow cooker and shred with two forks, adding drippings from the slow cooker as needed to moisten the meat.
*Note: Don’t be tempted to add any additional liquid–you don’t need it. The fat in the roast will provide more than enough liquid. For this size of roast, you will need a 6-qt. slow cooker. If you have a smaller slow cooker, use a smaller roast and reduce the amount of the other ingredients accordingly.
** Newer slow cookers have higher low temperature settings which decreases the cooking time. With these cookers I have found that a cooking range of 8 to 12 hours on low heat works nicely.
