. Is liquid smoke necessary?
Yes! It’s what gives the pork that distinctive kalua smoke flavor. I don’t recommend omitting it.
. Can I cook it on high?
For best texture, cook on low for 8-10 hours. High heat will make the pork dry out.
Kalua Pork Tips and Tasty Variations
. For extra moisture, place the pork on top of sliced onions or cabbage in the slow cooker.
. Get creative with the rub! Add brown sugar, chili powder, or smoked paprika.
. For a crispy exterior, broil or air fry the shredded pork for 5-10 minutes before serving.
. Make kalua pork nachos, tacos, sliders, or add to fried rice or ramen.
. Stir in some pineapple juice or teriyaki sauce for a Hawaiian-inspired twist.
