I wish I had a good review to write. I must have done something wrong. I followed the recipe but mine came out very bland. Almost no flavor at all. It was very tender and shredded nicely , but was pretty boring. Maybe I'll try again. This was the first thing I made in my new pressure cooker.

Freakin' delicious. My modification eliminated the jalapenos, but only because I had a few heat-sensitive guests tonight. In lieu of that, I added some chipotle powder and it was just perfect. Thanks!

I also did the baking dish in a hot oven until crispy on the outside trick. Also sprinkled brandy over the meat before putting it in the oven to crisp.

These were very good, I pressure cooked them for 30 mins and they turned out great, I served them with corn tortillas and lettuce, sour cream and tomatoes, because it was all I had...I didn't have all the peppers it called for so I just used a serrano pepper that I had, bunch of onions, garlic and spices, it was tender and flavorful!

I just got a pressure cooker and was looking for recipes to try. My husband loves carnitas and I have made them before by deep frying the meat in oil. ( not healthy or cost effective) This meat held the flavor though the meat and was so tender, I had to gently spoon it out of the cooker. Shredding it was awesome! I used a fork and pushed it down on top of each piece of meat and it just fell apart! Thank you for your recipe! I will be using it for years to come.

Amazing. I made this for tacos for a large group. I was so happy when I opened the pressure cooker. Perfectly authentic taste and texture. I served the tacos with shredded cabbage, chopped tomatoes and lime wedges, to rave reviews! I will be using this recipe again!

These Carnitas were awesome!!! The only change I made was to omit the spicy peppers and made it with red and green bell peppers. Wow!!! What flavor. Thanks for the best carnitas I have ever had.
