Using A Crock Pot For Pulled Pork

The great thing about a crock pot for pulled pork is that you can set it and pretty much forget it. You will know when it is ready by the smell wafting through the entire neighborhood. It makes everyone wish they were invited over for dinner.

But, it is important to understand a few things about crock pots regardless of how simple this recipe is. Crock pots on low should heat to about 200 degrees Fahrenheit, while the high setting should hit about 300.

If I need to rush the recipe a little bit, I will start it out on high for 1-2 hours and then drop it down to low to let it do it’s thing.
