Boston Butt Recipe for Pulled Pork ~ Ninja Foodi Recipe

I'm still shocked at how good this turned out! As the previous owner of a BBQ restaurant, I've smoked many pork butts in my life and I'm very pleased with the way the Ninja Foodi was able to PC for tenderness and then air crisp to render and crisp the fat on top. The only thing missing is the smoke flavor and that's okay because this only took a few hours (hands off and worry free) instead of 8-10!

[@amumof2347]

I learned a hack or trick for applying rubs. Take a shallow roasting pan - large enough, wide enough to easily roll the roast in . 1st cover the bottom of the roasting pan generously with your rub. Place roast in and start turning/rolling. Patting, pressing or rubbing your seasoning rub into all sides of your roast as you go. Then transfer the roast to your cooking rack. Simple + thorough coating - easy + quick clean up.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yep! I've done that and it does work great!

Wonderful!

[@ilovetherapydogs]

First let me say I LOVE your channel and can't wait to get your new videos. I've got 2 questions. I currently have an older Instant Pot and the Ninja XL Foodie Grill. Is it okay to do the boston butt in the instant pot and then use the air crisper in the grill to finish it or can you think of a way to do everything in the grill? Also, can you give a recommendation for a good sharp, chef knife. I looked on your list but didn't see anything. Thanks!!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yes, you can PC in the pressure cooker and AC in the grill, but you might want to lower the temp if the shoulder sits high in the grill. I can't imagine one even fitting in the XL grill unless it was really small. If it's too big, you can also use the oven to render the fat on top and create the bark, I would probably set it at 350-375F. The chef's knife I use is from Pampered Chef and I really love it. The key in choosing a knife is how it feels in your hand, the weight and balance is key. Here is the link to the one I use: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/thesaltedpepper/shop/Kitchen+Tools/Cutlery/8%22+Chef%27s+Knife/1575

[@MMCM1010]

I can't wait to try this. I usually bake my butts in the oven, low and slow then slice them instead of shredding. I cook them to 185º for slicing. I will definitely try this soon. Love the seasoning recipe also. I do have a question, where can I get the gloves you use and whatever they are that you put the pork back in the pot with. The gloves I have are so big I can't use them... thank you Louise for all your wonderful videos. I just got the Hot & Cold blender (because of you). I'm having such fun using it. Thank you...

[@TheSaltedPepper]

The gloves I use are kind of big, but they are soft and work great. You can find them in my Amazon store under Ninja Foodi Accessories about halfway down the page. They are sold as singles, so you need two for a pair. Here is the direct link: (affiliate link) amzn.to/3dEtqj1

[@carolr4871]

I'm intrigued. I've only ever done the initial cooking/tenderizing part using a sous vide cooker. That works well, but takes over 18 hrs. and requires quite a large container setup. Have you sous vide cooked a pork shoulder? If so, how does it compare to pressure cooking in terms of tenderness. Having recently discovered the joy of a pulled-pork sandwich, I will definitely try your method. I don't have a crisper lid on my pressure cooker, but I should be able to get that effect in my air fryer or in my conventional oven.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I haven't sous vide (ed) a pork shoulder, I'm not patient enough! LOL Please let me know which way you like better if you try it PC'd.

[@dahnic69]

Can It be smoked for 2 hours then finished in the Pressure Cooker? What would be the suggested adjusted time ⏲? Or would you suggest Pressure Cooking and finishing with Smoking 🤔

[@John-pg5ve]

Could I put liquid smoke in the water for smoke flavor?

[@Bluizs]

Hi Louise, this recipe looks so good. I am going to try it. The Boston Butt that I bought is a 10.78 lb one. Would you suggest my cutting some of it to get it closer to 7 lbs or adjust the temp? BTW how would I gauge how long to cook this large baby? I have the new Ninja Foodi with temp probe to practice on. I love your presentations and look forward to enlarging my recipe box with you. Many thanks!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

If it fits, you can keep it whole. I would probably PC for 2 hours though.

[@bettyweeks5188]

Thank you Louise for making a pulled pork recipe for all of us, I am going to make one , but my pork roast is 1.80 lbs, how long would I pressure cook that and air crisp it? I was going to do mine in the slow cooker but if I can get the times I am going to do it in my Ninja pressure cooker, mine is a boneless pork sirloin roast

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Pork loins (sirloin roast) are very different from a pork shoulder (pork butt) and have a lot less fat. It isn't the best cut to use for pulled pork, but if that is all you have, then I would submerge it in liquid and pressure cook it for about an hour or you can cut it into chunks and cook for less time. When it's falling apart and can be shredded easily, it's done.

[@bettyweeks5188]

@The Salted Pepper ok thank you so much for your help and time

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

I've also used it to make steak & eggs Benedict ??? 🤔

[@draidt]

What on your thoughts on Cold smoking the pork for an hour or so before pressure cooking? . I have an electric smoker that can be used as a cold smoker, I smoke cheese with it and it comes out wonderful.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

First, PLEASE share the brand of your smoker because I want to cold smoke cheeses! Second, I think you could cold smoke or even hot smoke at a low temp for 1-2 hours before pressure cooking and I bet it would be perfect!

[@Stephs2xPawsUp]

Can you use a Pork Tenderloin as well?

[@chellee]

Have you tried using a smoke gun? I have found it to be a good alternative while I'm still learning to use my father's smoker (I always loved the foods he cooked on the smoker). I would think after it's done, you could put plastic wrap over the foodi bowl, and use the smoke gun to add smoke.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Usually smoke is absorbed into the meat during the first few hours of cooking, but I'll have to look into a smoke gun since I've never used one. Thanks for the idea!

[@chipbutta406]

Would you recommend adding a little liquid smoke to the pork before using the rub just a add a little smokey flavor

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I have tried that and don't taste a difference, but other people say they can. It won't hurt to try it!

[@blink555]

I enjoyed your video - looks tasty! Pork is tender once the bone slides out easy. Typically the internal temp will be around 205. Suggestion: instead of water, add 1 cup of white grape juice and 2 TBS of Worcestershire to the pressure cooker. After air frying, and chopping up the meat, add the liquid from the pressure cooker back to the meat. The favor of the meat will get better each day and will reach peak flavor on day 3.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

All true, except you wouldn't want to add all of the liquid back in or you would have soup. LOL I didn't think to temp it and I should have. I should have cooked this one the same time as I did the 8 pound, but I was worried it would start to fall apart before the crisping process. 90 minutes would have been perfect I think.

Have you attempted a liquid smoke marinade prior to the pressure-cooking step? Or perhaps a shallow injection using a smoke solution? Gotta be a way to get that flavor in there somehow. Looked delicious ... Gonna try this one next weekend.

[@monstarhd1926]

I know its been a long time since your comment. I was thinking the same thing about liquid smoke. How did yours come out?

[@andrewb2111]

@@monstarhd1926 I was afraid to inject thinking it might be overly strong. Although one could dilute the smoke solution. I used my grandmother's method ... stabbed it repeatedly with a meat fork to allow holes for the marinade to soak into and then marinated in a large plastic bag, in the fridge. If I recall, I was wishing I had injected as the inner meat could have used more smoke flavor. Although, a longer marinade time would have helped as well. I think I had about 5 hours on it. I think it's one of those things that will take some trial and error, but I'd lean towards injection if I did it again. I've since purchased a broil king pellet smoker .... and I have to admit, I really like using it. Havent' cooked much meat indoors since buying.

I LOVE your Channel. I have the Ninja Speedi. So far, I've been to make your recipes adjusting the times, using the Speedi Meals function. I'm wondering if I could place the Boston butt on the tray in the lower rack above water using either, the steam function; or, the slow cook function. Then, I could Air Crisp it. Could you, please, suggest whether to Steam or slow cook; how long with how much water? I recommend your Channel to everybody. Thank you for your expertise!!!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

It would take quite a while to steam and you may need to continue to add liquid, so I would opt for slow cook and go ahead and slow cook it directly in the Speedi with just a little liquid (it will create plenty) and then crisp the top. If for some reason the pork is submerged in liquid by the end of slow cooking (which is going to take 6-8 hours I think), then drain some of it before crisping the top. Reserve the drained liquid in case you want to add some back into the pulled pork.

[@ks5831]

[@kerriheller1565]

I would like to prepare this now and freeze to serve it at a July 4 party. Would I skip the air crisp step?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

That's a good question. I think either way would be fine, but if you skipped the air crisp step and shredded and froze, the unrendered fat will help keep it moisture when reheating. I think it depends on how you plan on heating it up afterwards. The crispy bits are so delicious, so if you were going to put it in a crock pot for heating, I would probably go ahead and air crisp, shred and leave any fat under the crispy part in the shredded meat. I think that will give you the best of both worlds. Enjoy!

You absolutely can. Pork butt and shoulder both come from the shoulder area and cook pretty much the same. 45 minutes of PC time is a good starting point for a small pork shoulder.

It doesn't if it's cooked correctly. I've had NC style chopped pork and it's also very good when the sauce isn't too vinegary. There are so many different styles of BBQ, it's fun to try them all!

If you hold the time adjustment button up or down it will drop or go up in ten minute increments quickly. Engineers program this into devices so you don’t wear it out as fast.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yes, I do know that. It's just very hard for me to do that on camera because I can't see the control panel.

@@TheSaltedPepper lol okay I was like WHY?!?! haha

[@KPEMAX98]

Could you put liquid smoke down in the water before pressure cooking it!....would that add smokiness to the pork?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I haven't found that that helps, but some people say it does.

[@dianaverhulst3407]

Hi. You're usually pretty responsive to I'll throw this out there - I'm right now pressure-cooking a 5-lb bone-in pork shoulder roast. I set the time to 90 minutes. I think that's too much. I'm not sure. I also am unsure b/c I did chop the roast into 4 smaller chunks and browned them on all sides. Slow release or quick? Keep warm all day in a slow-cooker pot? Help!

Don’t make mistake I did and used pork shoulder. Super dry. Pork butt guys not pork shoulder But love your channel and recipes

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Pork shoulder and pork butts are both usually fatty, tough cuts and either should work just fine in this recipe. Perhaps you mean pork loin? Or, perhaps your grocery store labels things a little differently. I'd love for you to describe the look of the cut of meat you used.

How long should I cook a 11lb pork shoulder for

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Have you checked to make sure it will fit? The timing would also depend on if you are going to cut it into chunks or not. If it's one large piece, it will probably take 3-4 hours of PC time.

I made this tasted lovely but I regret using pork shoulder because it massively reduced. Lost nearly 50% of meat :( oh well live and learn!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

That’s pretty normal when making pork shoulder and it’s not that you lost meat, you broke down the tough connective tissue and rendered the fat. While you can make a pulled pork of sorts with other cuts of pork, it’s not going to give you the flavor of traditional pulled pork. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😁

@@TheSaltedPepper thank you for your response. Yes if was cooked lovely!

How about the time changes for a 3lb pork

I go over my suggestions in the written recipe post: thesaltedpepper.com/ninja-foodi-pulled-pork/

This is money.

[@SheriAnnNihal]

Could you smoke it a little bit and then do the rest?

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Yes, you can!

[@SheriAnnNihal]

Can you suggest how long? I figure I would make the beans first. And since I only have 1 foodi I could smoke it until its free? I have one of this pellet grills.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

@@SheriAnnNihal It really doesn't matter. Most smoke flavor is absorbed in the first couple of hours, so I would smoke it for at least an hour while you make the beans. The PC time won't change though because 2 hours of smoking will barely cook the pork if you are doing it at 200-250F
