How long should I cook a 8 pound pork roast in slow cooker for pulled sandwichs?

It's best to aim for 8-10 hours on low for an 8-pound pork roast in a slow cooker to achieve tender, flavorful pulled pork for sandwiches.

Here's why:

* Longer cooking time: This ensures the meat is cooked through and breaks down into tender strands, perfect for pulling.

* Low heat: Slow cooking at low temperatures helps render the fat and develop rich flavor without drying out the meat.

Tips for success:

* Use a pork shoulder roast: This cut has a high fat content, resulting in succulent pulled pork.

* Season generously: Use your favorite dry rub or marinade to enhance the flavor.

* Add liquid: A cup or two of broth or liquid helps keep the roast moist during cooking.

* Internal temperature: Make sure the internal temperature of the roast reaches at least 190°F (88°C) for safe consumption.

* Shred and serve: Once cooked, shred the pork using two forks. You can serve it on buns with your favorite toppings.

Enjoy your delicious pulled pork sandwiches!
