Pressure Cooker 

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/246332/carnitas-pressure-cooker/

O.k. folks, this recipe is AWESOME!!!!! We LOVED it! I served it on little corn tortillas with cabbage, salsa, cheese, cilantro and a cilantro lime dressing (not homemade but I'm totally o.k. with that). It did take me a bit of time to cut up the pork butt and it had a lot of fat on it which concerned me and I cut some of it off but when the meat was done, it did just fall apart and I took out a few chunks of fat but the rest of the fat seemed to disappear, or blend into the meat. Yum, Yum, Yum!!!
By the way, that is not my photo but ours looked similar!
