CCP: Heat to 145 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process. If the manufacturer instructions on the package or case have a higher temperature,
follow those recommendations.

5.

Remove the pork from the oven. Drain off the liquid, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

6.

Place the cooked pork pieces in a large stand mixing bowl. Use the paddle attachment and mix on low speed to shred the pork pieces to the desired consistency.
