Prep Time: 5 m. • Cook Time: 3-12 h.

Serves: 4-20

Ingredients:
  • Minimum 3 lbs of Pork Butt Roast  
  • 1 ½ Tbsp of Alaea Red Clay Hawaiian Sea Salt 
  • 1 Tbsp of Liquid Smoke
Instructions:
  1. Preheat your Magnifique Claypot Cooker to Slow Cook High or Low depending on your cook times. (see below for time guide)
  2. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and place on a clean surface.
  3. Use a carving fork or a pair of scissors to puncture all around the roast, allowing it to absorb moisture and flavors. 
  4. Pour Hawaiian Sea Salt on all sides and massage into every Pork Butt.
  5. Repeat with Liquid Smoke, ensuring to spread evenly.
  6. Place the roast with fat side down onto the Claypot and close the lid.
  7. Let it cook for x amount of hours depending on the size of the roast and the temperature you chose.
  8. Flip the roast halfway into the cook.
  9. If fork tender at the end of the timer, turn off the Magnifique Claypot Cooker and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. If not, keep cooking until fork tender.
  10. Place the roast into a container and start shredding away with either your hands and heat resistant gloves or forks and enjoy!
Notes/Substitutions:
  • Cook times depend on the size and weight of the roast. 
  • Slow Cook High Setting: 1 Hour For Every Pound.
  • Slow Cook Low Setting: 2 Hour For Every Pound.
  • Check for tenderness at end of cook cycle. If roast is not at the desired level, add an hour for low setting and 30 minutes for high settings before checking again. 
  • Ex: 3 pound roast on Low setting cooks for approximately 6 hours, on High it cooks approximately 3 hours. 
  • Alaea red salt is preferred but coarse Hawaiian Sea Salt or coarse regular sea salt is okay.
How to Eat:
  • Kalua Pork Sliders with Hawaiian Sweet Rolls, BBQ sauce, and shredded cabbage or coleslaw. 
  • Serve over rice with green onions and Sriracha. 
  • Pulled pork tacos!
