Thank you for another delicious looking recipe! Pork shoulder bacon and apples can't get better than that ! Yum

[@marilynwhorton178]

I made this l last night without fresh onion. I used a little bit of dehydrated onion just for flavor. The meat was tender and the apples weren’t mushy. I seasoned it with salt and pepper. My husband and I liked it very much. We have wonderful leftovers for tonight. Thanks for the video.

[@Wollzauber]

Made this recipe today for the second time and it turned out great. My Husband and son love it - yeah!! Thank's for this and all the other inspiring recipes!! Greetings from Germany

[@lisamcneill8545]

LOVE THIS! Oh, thank you, thank you! Happy New Year to Flo, Dude and the kiddos.

[@lisagreenawalt4354]

I made this today. I improvised a bit with seasoning but it turned out amazing. Thanks for posting this recipe video!

[@FloLum]

Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@volcwatcher7563]

Greetings from downunder NZ Flo... I'm so in love with this recipe, and you, but don't tell Dude 😊.....this turned out absolutely superb.... I had you on my tablet beside my instant potatoes.... step by step, and you make it so easy..... Only tweak I made was to add pineapple pieces with the apple, coz I love pork n pineapple.... I've looked thru more of your recipes, and they are superb. Also love your method of videotaping with dude and family.... Hope all is well with you guys up there..... From me downunder in NZ..... Cheers 😁

[@izzy9132]

Now that's UMAMI !

[@Bunkysworkshop]

I just made this for dinner tonight and did add the salt -n- pepper. We loved it and will be doing this dish again. Thank you guys for the dish and your sense of humor.

[@FloLum]

+craigsclocks Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@sylviacrawford7195]

I made this fabulous recipe tonight Flo it was delicious

[@davem2881]

Love it ! Pork, bacon and apple beautifully done !

[@1genevieve2]

I'm afraid I've found my favorite KZbin channel...YOUR'S!! Haha! Keep the I.P. recipes coming because Summer heat lasts forever and I don't want to cook on the electric stove! lol

[@FloLum]

Aw... thanks, JoAnn!

[@PatBarr55]

That looks yummy!

[@debbiehaney8996]

I think I’ll give this a try today. Sounds delicious!

[@FloLum]

Great! You'll have to let me know how it turns out for you. Please don't forget to salt and pepper! 😉

[@debbiehaney8996]

Flo Lum I made the pork shoulder today. It was delicious and SO easy! The apples and bacon were the perfect touches. I have always been hesitant to use the IP for roasts instead of my enameled cast iron Dutch oven, but this tasted very good and it was fall apart tender. So...I’ve made chicken and dumplings using your chicken & gnocchi soup recipe and now your pork shoulder this week. What are we having next, Flo? 😜

[@FloLum]

+Debbie Haney Ha ha! That’s so great! I totally get what you mean. I love my cast iron Dutch oven. I’m sad that I don’t use it as often anymore and yet, I still drool over them when I see them in the stores. So many pretty colours! I have some older recipes you might want to try. My favourite video is beef bourguignon, if you haven’t seen it yet. kzbin.info/www/bejne/joDPgGeqnNWbmqs

[@snowpony001]

This sounds/looks wonderful. I love pork shoulder in the IP. I like to season it with a bit of mace - really adds to the flavor. I bet a little five spice or Garam masala would work nicely on this recipe too. Thanks for another great IP recipe. Love your videos.

[@FloLum]

Thanks! I was going to add thyme but forgot. I even forgot to season with salt and pepper. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@a.w.9662]

Looks delicious - have to pick up a pork roast next shopping day so I can try that!

[@FloLum]

+A. W. Great! Let me know how you like it!

[@swyoung69]

My comfort food too. My fathers recipe was also super simple. 4 large eggs, 1 14oz can chicken broth, 1 can of tuna in oil, 1 tblsp oyster sauce, 1 tblsp soy sauce and steam ultra low for 1hr. I can taste the custard now mmmmm makes me want to make some. Great vid!!

[@FloLum]

Assuming this comment is for the steamed egg video... isn’t it amazing how every family has their own version of the same dish? 😊

[@swyoung69]

Flo Lum yeah sorry it started playing the next vid before i finished typing.

[@FloLum]

No worries!

[@SeaBrzJo2]

You sold me at the mention of "pork & apples"! My family was from the Midwest and we NEVER had pork without at least applesauce as a side dish. Can't wait to try this recipe since it's now "fall weather" in Central FL at a balmy 66F. :-) Also, I joined your Patreon funding site, but could only give $5 month as I'm a senior looking forward to retiring soon. However, I easily used to spend twice this per year on cookbooks so this a cost savings for me ;-) For the rest of you reading, if I can find $5 a month to help Flo, I know the rest of you can. I subscribe to many YT recipe threads, but Flo is the best of all of them.

[@FloLum]

+Sea BrzJo Aw... how incredibly sweet are you?! Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate your support and am so encouraged that you enjoy my channel! 😘

[@FloLum]

Pork and apples, to me, are like turkey and cranberry. They just go so well together. Hope you enjoy this!

[@morgan.highley]

Looks fantastic. When do you think you’ll have the recipe posted on your website?

[@FloLum]

+Morgan Highley Sorry, Morgan, I no longer have the capacity to update the website as I’d much rather spend my time making videos for you all. I try to be very clear in the videos. Appreciate your understanding.

[@morgan.highley]

No worries. Ended up making this for Thanksgiving and it was terrific! Thank you!

[@FloLum]

Morgan Highley So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know how it went!

[@rnc11254]

Looks so good! It's funny, as I watched this, I was thinking, Flo is one of the few who actually browns things before cooking (I do too!), and then about a minute later you mentioned that it would be flavorful even without it. You're absolutely right, but I sure love the browned stuff!

[@FloLum]

It would be WAY better if your brown though. 😉 Sometimes you just don’t have as much time but it’ll still be good. Thanks, Ricki! Hope you’ll give it a try!

[@MelsSimpleMeals]

Growing up we never had pork without apples/onions :) Still my favorite! This looks incredible! Loved Dude's potato section too hehe !

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Mel! They just seem to go together!

[@ChurchClown7]

@ “score the potato” I was waiting for Dude to hold up a sign “8.5”.

[@FloLum]

LOL!

[@mrses44]

Looks like you have 2 Instant Pots - one for main dish & another for sides? This pork shoulder dish looks so delicious! Thank you.

[@FloLum]

+mrses44 Yep! It’s handy to have 2! Thanks, Hope you’ll give it a try.

[@mommysmanyhats8920]

Hi Flo- I am making this for my very first IP meal! So excited. Thank you for this recipe. I'm going to film myself making it for my new youtube channel. Do you mind if I link to your video/recipe in the description to give you credit?

[@FloLum]

Go for it! Appreciate you giving credit.

[@semco72057]

That is a nice looking dish and you must get so much use out of your pressure cooker while taking care of your family.

[@FloLum]

I do. I enjoy cooking using any method.

[@markfannin3975]

So Dude's signature dish is IP potatoes? (it's a start). Thanks for the IP video and now I'm off to Costco for pork shoulder. I'm saving up for a Joule. The other one was cheaper but I researched and the Joule was rated much higher. Meanwhile I am enjoying my 5 minute copper chef that Cathy Mitchel pushes. Amazingly it is a wonderful little gadget - perfect for just my wife and I.

[@FloLum]

LOL! I would not say it's his signature dish but I am happy potatoes were cooked by the time I got home. I hope you get the Joule at a good price. That is what I found as well. Joule is the better product. 😉

[@WinsVideos]

Love cooking with bacon too. You may want to try Gelderman Farms natural bacon. They are not as salty as supermarket ones and thick cut. I collect the fat from frying them and use it for other cooking.

[@FloLum]

Yes I have! Just picked up a couple of packs. The store was offering a $10 gift card with $15 puchase of Gelderman Farms meat!!!

[@WinsVideos]

which store! I need to get some more!

[@FloLum]

Ah... sorry... sale over last Thu at Safeway with Air Miles Card.

[@WinsVideos]

it's ok. Good to know. should watch out for the next one

[@vlh1255]

Sweet and simple home sent me to your channel. I really want to make this but I don't have an instant pot. Can I use a slow cooker?

[@FloLum]

Welcome! I don’t see why not. You’d just have to adapt the recipe for your slow cooker.

[@karin9670]

Willy sure try this, looks delicious. What seasoning would you add? Only pepper?

[@FloLum]

+Karin Groes Thanks, Karin! And salt! Also good to add during cooking is some thyme (which I forgot!)

[@karin9670]

Flo Lum Hi Flo, I made the Recipe. It was really tender Meat. I would add some yellow raisins for extra sweetness. Kind regards!

[@FloLum]

Karin Groes Great! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@Thisisit120]

Flo, I have heard that if you qr on meat the meat will be tough. So it's best to nr. Do you know if this is true?

[@FloLum]

I have heard that as well. I have never noticed a difference. The only times I NR is when the pot is too full or when I know I've cooked something that is going to spew up the top otherwise.

[@JimN5QL]

F l o , What is with the black tape over the name of the instant pot? I love pork shoulder but I have never tried it with apples.

[@FloLum]

+Jim Clark, N5QL Hey Jim, think pork + apples, like turkey + cranberry. 😊 I am just making it clear that I am in no way paid by Instant Pot nor do I endorse them.

[@patsythompson7017]

Where did you get your apron.

[@FloLum]

This is one I made. 😺

[@Leiniedrinker]

I just picked up a 4.5lb pork shoulder, how long should I cook it for?

[@FloLum]

If you cut it up, the cooking time would be the same.

[@Leiniedrinker]

Flo Lum thank you for your reply. I see so many people saying online for this size 90 minutes so I got a little worried doing it wrong.

[@FloLum]

John Hemze If you keep it whole it would take 90 mins but it’s much quicker cutting it up. 😉

[@Leiniedrinker]

Thanks for sharing your recipe! It turned out perfect. Very tasty and tender. Even our two teenagers liked it!

[@FloLum]

Excellent! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@marcelaramonet2302]

can I use tenderloin

[@FloLum]

Personally, I would not cook tenderloin in a pressure cooker. Pork shoulder is a cut of meat that requires the pressure to make the meat tender.

[@miyosu20022002]

Regarding bacon, have you ever heard of a bacon recall?

[@jimsaddison8506]

What is the weight of the pork.

[@FloLum]

2-3 pounds

[@johnmarshall6975]

Hi again Flo, another great vid. I'll try this one. But as always I must give constructive criticism which I know you will forgive me for. What was that horrible contemporary jazz music. It's what we Brits call lift (elevator) music. I bet dude chose that. I will try this one though and it was great to see your daughter in there if only briefly. Perhaps you could get them both helping more fully. You would become a global phenomenon. Your appeal is the family loving attitude. I did watch your sous vide stuff on face book. Nice screw ups HO HO. LOL. I have now got a bid on ebay as I'm typing, for a "Google Home" to voice control my Anova. I know you luv tech. Yu gotta get one. The tension builds when you have a bid in. Having a glass of wine to relax. Keep smiling Flo. (brill smile) John M (in the UK) PS the time difference is a real pain so I cannot hear from you for a while. But you always do reply luvly lady (and dude) We don't want him feeling left out do we.

[@FloLum]

+John Marshall Always so nice to hear from you! I am sorry the music is not to your liking. I would love the get the kids cooking more but it’s hard. We do have Google Home and so far she has been quite useless seeing as she is Google. Often when we ask her something her response is “I’m sorry. I can’t help with that yet.” 🙄 And it doesn’t even work with my Joule who apparently is married to Alexa! Hope you have more fun with yours. Have a wonderful day!
