In reply to Maddie. Hi Maddie, Yes you can, just put the instapot on saute first to sear all sides of the pork. Then place all the ingredients into the pot including the coke, just follow in step 2. Put the crock pot on 45mins pressure cook and it should come out just fine. Xx

Could you use the instant pot instead? I love this recipe but now I’m wondering if I could make it quicker if I used an instant pot. What do you think?

I have made this recipe at least a dozen times. It is an absolute go-to. Never disappoints. It’s fundamentally easy and turns out great. Oven crisping is far easier to clean up than frying pan, although I think frying pan works better.

In any case, make this. It’s a genuinely great recipe.

My family loves this recipe. I’ve made it multiple times now and I’m making it again right now. For the first time I made this I didn’t have Coke cause the Coke was there and nobody in this house drinks Coke so I thought I was safe when I seen the Coke there the day before but then when I want to make it there was no Coke. So I improvised and used a Dr Pepper. And that’s the only way I make it now with a Dr Pepper.

Second time making this recipe. So easy and delicious. House smells amazing! Fun to play around with different toppings as tacos. Radishes & jalapeños were a hit!
