This is a simple and Amazing recipe, I’ve made it several times now and everyone always asks for the recipe (which of course I share the link to every time)… the banana leaves are a definite must! 🙂

My mom got me a pressure cooker from QVC years ago but I was actually afraid to use it. The recipe book that came with it was boring and nothing looked appetizing enough to try. But then I found you! Your recipes are wonderful and I appreciate the varied ethnic dishes with authentic ingredients. I’ve made the kalua pork recipe several times, always doubling the recipe because we love to share with friends. I’m from Hawaii and the Chef I worked for would sometimes make kalua pork chow fun for our Hawaiian events. I also made kalua pork quesidillas for my work buddies and they were blown away! Thank you and God bless!

How long should I cook a 5-1/2 lb bone-in pork butt, not cut into pieces?

Thanks,
Gina

Second attempt at Instant Pot Kalua Pork was even better than the first. Super easy and oh so good. Using Amy+Jacky’s recipe with banana leafs and alaea salt and pork shoulder! So good, seriously, hard to stop eating.

Make a slaw with rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a touch of this and that from my multiple country Asian pantry. Added some rice made on the stove ( first time in a long time) plus Marta made an insanely delicious Gluten-free Pineapple upside-down cake! The perfect meal to share with Friends and enough leftovers to share again!

In reply to Jessica T.. World Market always have the alaea salt. Just a pro tip. Ralph’s in Calofornianusually has the banana leaves. Aloha

Amy & Jacky, it’s because of you two that I use my Instant Pot as often as I do. Every recipe is a keeper!

This kalua pork was no exception. I had a 2 lb pork shoulder, but followed all of the instructions as written (aside from the banana leaves which couldn’t be found on short notice), and the dish turned out perfectly! I served it with Hawaiian pineapple rice and sugar snap peas, and the entire family devoured it. This is another Amy & Jacky recipe going into our regular rotation.

Thanks so much for all you do!

I followed the recipe exclet I used chicken broth in replacement of water. Turned out so delish. Hubby and our 3 boys loved it.
