1

2

Toss pork shoulder , kosher salt , ground cumin , dried oregano and leave the surface dry.
3

Brown @&( timer in lard on sauté in an Instant Pot for 12 min , in three batches — the pot's element is small and narrow, and four pounds crowded in at once steams instead.
4

Pressure cook @&( timer with orange , white onion , garlic , bay leaves , water , lid on and valve sealed: 12 min , then 45 min on high and 15 min .
5

Shred @&( timer coarsely, spread it on a sheet with a few spoonfuls of the fat from the pot, and crisp it under the broiler 10 min , watching it.
