A firm favourite for group get togethers. Using the rice cookers sealed style of cooking with controlled temperature and moisture containment when the SLOW COOK feature is used it really brings out the best in the pork meat. What you get is fall-off-the-bone tender meat that is packed with flavour. It makes an outstanding pulled pork sandwich but we like to serve ours with rice to not complicate the flavour profile of the meat that has a great kick.

Serve with freshly cooked white long grain rice and for some added flair you can optionally add some cooked kidney beans with a sprinkle of spring onions. This creates an extra dimension of flavour and an excellent source of plant based protein.

Apply the rub mix generously and thick making sure to get into all the cracks and flaps of the meat. You can serve the meat as sliders and add some home made coleslaw to freshen things up. We also like it on jacket potatoes!
