This Pork Carnitas recipe was slow cooked stove top style. I've been juggling the thought of getting me an Instapot (a pressure cooker with slow cook feature and more) for over a year now and like the Libra that I am, up to now, I am still undecided. Ironic that we actually had one here as a giveaway. Many find carnitas a little dry or flavorless.
