  5. Select the Roast function, adjust temperature to 375°F and time to 45 minutes, then press Start/Pause.
  6. Flip the pork pieces halfway through cooking and stir the contents of the basket until evenly mixed.
  7. Remove  the pork when done and allow to rest for 10 minutes before shredding.
  8. Serve immediately with tortillas, cilantro, onion, salsa roja, and salsa verde if desired as the main ingredient for a taco, burrito, rice bowl, or topping for a salad.
