SO. I’ve been told that I need to start doing the whole YouTube thing. I kept putting it off. I mean, my friend Allison rocks it (If you don’t follow her, you should. She’s awesome.). She told me that I could totally do this. So I listened to her yesterday. Skip to the instant pot pulled pork recipe – click here.
Instant Pot Pulled Pork Recipe
Yesterday, when I made my Instant Pot pork roast, I recorded myself. Kind of. I’ll tell you all about that in a minute. Right now, Let’s get you that recipe. It’s a hard one (kidding!).
Pulled Pork Recipe {THM S}
Ingredients
- 2-3 pound boneless pork butt roast or Carnitas
- 2 tablespoons Alaea Salt
- Red Palm Oil
- 1/4-1/2 cup bone broth
Instructions
- Turn on your Instant Pot, and select "saute". Allow it to heat up for 2-3 minutes while you prepare your roast.
- Remove your roast from the package and pat dry. Sprinkle your salt over all the surfaces of your roast. Gently massage/rub the salt into the meat.
- Allow a small amount of oil to melt in your Instant Pot after it's heated and add your roast. Sear it on all sides, then using tongs, remove it from your Instant Pot. Deglaze the Pot using the bone broth, and add the roasting rack.
- Place the seared meat on the roasting rack. Hit the stop button, and then select "meats" and adjust the time so that it reflects 20 minutes per pound of meat (so 40-60 minutes). Close the steam vent and let it go.
- Once the meat is done, allow your pot to self-release for about 15 minutes. Serve with sliced avocado and pico.
So basically, I made my first video. Granted, I Periscoped it first (@breagettingfit), but there’s a really cool little feature that allows you to save your broadcast to your camera roll.
Okay. I could do this…Right? Turns out, I need some work. Don’t be like me.
Some tips for your first YouTube
1. Don’t Use Your iPhone
I mean, you can, but honestly, I wouldn’t. Get an inexpensive camcorder (I have this one in my cart currently). I love my iPhone, but it’s not the best for video…especially if you’re walking around your kitchen making a recipe.
2. Use A Microphone
It didn’t occur to me that I’d be moving around and that would affect the video quality. Afterword, I realize that using a microphone (which is less than $20.00 on Amazon), would have been a good idea.
3. Watch Before Uploading
Kind of like looking where you leap. In my case, I made the mistake of getting a bit trigger happy and posting immediately. Give yourself some time and watch the video.
If I’d done that, then I would have caught the fact that the video blacks out.
4. Edit
You can use iMovie though I am fond of the results that many are seeing from Camtasia. Take the extra step to make yours better than mine, okay?
And finally…the video (be kind, it’s my first):
