You can also substitute pork tenderloin for pork shoulder, although it may be less flavorful.
If you are using a different size piece of pork, you can adjust the other ingredient amounts proportionately.
A 6-quart Instant Pot is ideal, but any 4-8 quart pressure cooker will work too.
If you wish to separate out some of the fat after cooking, you can skim with a spoon or pour the liquid into a fat separator.
