Traditional Hawaiian Kalua pork is cooked in an underground oven or sand pit. Less traditional recipes use a slow cooker to cook the pork all day long. Unfortunately, we often find ourselves short on time and underground ovens. The solution: Instant Pot™ Kalua Pork. It will have you on your way to the party in way less time and with way less hassle.
