How Long Does Pulled Pork Have To Be Cooked For?
Pulled pork typically needs to be cooked for 8-10 hours in a slow cooker or smoker at low heat to become tender enough to easily be pulled apart. The internal temperature should reach at least 190°F to ensure that all the connective tissues break down. However, the cooking time may vary depending on how much pork you’re cooking and your desired tenderness and flavor.
