16 hours to make this?? Don’t freak. There’s only 3 ingredients – trust me, you won’t even have to work for it.

ingredients:
one 4-5 lb pork butt/shoulder
1 Tablespoon Hawaiian salt
1-1/2 Tablespoons liquid smoke

Place the pork in the slow cooker. Pierce it all over with a paring knife.

For the salt I used a mix of regular, coarse Hawaiian salt and a specialty Black Lava salt that I got from Hawaii. The charcoal, smokiness gives it a little something extra.

If you can’t find the ‘special’ salt, don’t sweat it. Just use the coarse Hawaiian salt by itself – you can get a ton of it for a couple of bucks at a Japanese market.

Rub the salt into the top of the pork. Then pour the liquid smoke over and rub that in. Turn the slow cooker on to low…

Midway around the 8 hour mark, this is what your pork will look like. At this point turn the pork over,then walk away for another 8 hours…

Once the 16 hours is up, shred the pork using two forks, moisten with the juices if necessary, and serve.

Super simple! This is great for parties because there is NO work involved – just serve it with some Hawaiian sweet bread rolls, and you’re done!
