Special Precautions and Tips:
- Use a large enough Dutch oven or slow cooker to accommodate the pork shoulders.
- Check the pork after 6 hours of cooking to make sure it is tender. If it is not, continue cooking for an additional hour or two.
- Let the pork rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding it. This will help prevent the pork from falling apart too much.
