What Equipment Do I Need to Make Crockpot Pulled Pork?

What I love about this recipe is I can start it in the morning before work, cook it low and slow and it’s ready by the time I get home in the evening.

There are so many slow cooker options out there, and this is the one we have. It’s an older model, but it’s programmable, so I can set the time and heat level which give us more control over the cooking.

One trick I’ve learned for making this recipe even easier is using crockpot liners. These liners make cleanup so easy—I place one in my crockpot, throw all my ingredients in, the pot, then once everything is cooked, I remove the bag and throw everything away. So easy!
