While tough to overcook completely, pulled pork in a slow cooker can get dry if left on too long. Stick to the recommended cook time for your recipe for the most succulent results!

Yes, you can overcook pulled pork in the slow cooker, which can make it dry and tough. To prevent this, cook on low for 8-10 hours and ensure there's enough liquid in the pot. Using a meat thermometer to check for doneness (195-205°F) can also help you avoid overcooking.
