So can use pork loin for pulled pork instead of pork butt? The answer is yes!

Although pork butt is often used for pulled pork, pork loin roast or pork tenderloin will also work just fine. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of your pork roast.
You can also use boneless pork shoulder. All of these meat options will result in tender pork when cooked correctly in the pressure cooker.

No, you do not have to use beef broth in this recipe. You can substitute the cooking liquid with chicken broth or chicken stock or vegetable stock if desired.

You could even just use plain water and add your own spices for more flavor. For example, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, ground mustard or smoked paprika.

Whatever liquid you choose, be sure to adjust the amount of BBQ sauce accordingly to avoid making your pulled pork too salty.

Just keep in mind that the flavor profile and acidity of each vinegar may vary, so be sure to taste your final dish and adjust any seasonings as needed.
