8. Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure cooker naturally release the pressure for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully release any remaining pressure manually.
9. Remove the lid and check the pork for tenderness. It should be fork-tender and easy to shred.
10. Using two forks, shred the pork into smaller pieces. Mix the shredded pork with the barbeque sauce in the pressure cooker to coat it evenly.
