Cover and cook on low for 4 hours. Salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve. (If you want to make it with raw pork add broth and pork to slow cooker and cover and cook on low for 8 hours. Shred and then add in the rest of the ingredients and cook for 4 more hours on low.)

I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. No changes for the 8 or 3 quart.
