Return to article: How to Cook a Kalua Pig
on 9/17/2006 Get the biggest sized Crockpot or slow cooker you can get. If you want, you can put a couple small banana leaves in there. Try to get as much pork shoulder/butt as you can fit, salt it up with Hawaiian salt (the more salt you use, the better the poi taste). Put the oinker in the pot, cover, and cook it medium-high for around 5 hours (checking as you go). When finished, the meat should fall right off the bone. The lower and longer you cook it, the softer it will be.
