3 Tips For Making Slow Cooker Carnitas

01 Ensure your oven or grill is fully heated before crisping the pork pieces.

02 When pulling the pork apart, try and leave the pieces on the bigger side. This will help them retain their moisture when you broil or grill them to get the outside crispy.

03 Keep a close eye on your pork pieces! They will burn quickly, so pull from the oven or grill as soon as your edges are brown and crispy.
