2.
To cook the pork:
Using the BROWN/SAUTÉ mode, preheat the Multicooker to 450°F for 5 minutes. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Add
the oil to the cooker, then add the pork and cook, turning occasionally, for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown all
over. Transfer the pork to a rimmed baking sheet and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of fat from the cooker.
Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic to the cooker and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are golden
brown. Return the pork to the cooker, add the broth and vinegar, and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom.

Bring the mixture to a simmer. Set the SLOW COOK mode to HIGH. Cover and cook for about 8 hours, turning halfway
through, or until the pork is fork-tender. Turn off the cooker, uncover, and let cool for 45 minutes.
Transfer the pork mixture to a baking dish. Discard the vegetables and reserve the braising liquid. Return the pork to the
cooker and, using 2 forks, pull the meat apart into large chunks. Moisten the shredded pork with some of the braising
liquid and then toss with some of the warm barbecue sauce. Set the SLOW COOK mode to WARM and cover to keep warm.
To serve:
Heat a grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Grill the rolls, cut side down, until lightly toasted. Pile the pork on the
bottoms of the rolls. Top with more of the sauce, the coleslaw, and then the tops of the rolls. Serve hot.
