Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Pork Carnitas (Video)

Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, my slow cooker Mexican Shredded Pork Carnitas recipe is a six-ingredient, 5-minute prep delight, that your whole family will love! To season the pork, I used our Tex-Mex Rub, and to slow cook the pork, I used our new Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven:

Tex-Mex Rub

Say olé to south-of-the-border flavor for tacos, meats and more. Cumin, cinnamon and chili pepper. 2 oz. Gluten-free.

Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand

Slow Cook & Keep Warm

Take your Rockcrok® Dutch Oven or Everyday Pan and turn it into a slow cooker with the Rockcrok® Digital Slow Cooker Stand. The slow cooker lets you cook food on your own time, or easily transfer it from the oven or stovetop directly into the stand to keep it warm. Control the temperature and timing of your food with the stand’s digital display and keep your cabinets tidy with compact cord storage for when you aren’t using the stand. Two inset handles make lifting easy, and the stand even wipes clean for simple cleanup.

Rockcrok® Dutch Oven

COOK ANY MEAL FOR A CROWD

The Rockcrok® Dutch Oven is the perfect size for cooking for a crowd, and unlike other types of ceramic cookware, you can use Rockcroks® right away without needing to preseason. The large Rockcrok® Dutch Oven perfect for anything—appetizers, bread, casseroles, braised meats, soups, and more! You’ll never run out of possibilities with this durable, versatile piece.

Rockcrok® Collection

Calling our Rockcrok® Collection versatile is an understatement. It’s made from durable, high-quality clay that’s heat-safe to 752°F (400°C), so you can sear, braise, simmer, slow cook, fry, boil, bake, broil, microwave, and grill in one pan. Rockcrok® pieces transfer effortlessly from freezer to stovetop to oven and back again, all while creating savory roasts, crisp crusts, moist cakes, and one-pot wonders. Since they’re dishwasher-safe, you’ll find reasons to use these lightweight alternatives to cast-iron cookware every day.

Ingredients

  • 3 lb. pork shoulder
  • 2 oranges, juiced
  • 2 tbsp Tex Mex Rub, divided
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 – 4 oz can sliced poblano peppers

Instructions

Juice oranges; chop onions and garlic.

Pat pork dry with a paper towel. Rub one tablespoon of Tex-Mex Rub all over pork.

Combine onions, garlic, one tablespoon of rub, poblano peppers and juice in Rockcrok. Place pork on top of mixture.  Cover and place it in the Rockcrok® Slow Cooker Stand and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or HIGH for 4 hours.

Once cooked, remove pork from Rockcrok, and shred. 

Heat a pan over medium-high heat, and add a very small spoonful of the sauce from the Pork.  Add SOME (not all) of the shredded pork to the pan, cooking one side until it is crispy; remove from pan, and continue with the rest of the pork.
