In reply to Sarah. My Mexican friend said he never heard of adding a coke or Dr. Pepper for carnitas.

Will a pork sirloin roast work for this?

In reply to Annie. Most recipes I read say to avoid diet soda. The reason is that the sugar is part of what affects the pork and helps caramelize it. In fact Mexican coke is preferred, as American coke uses high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) instead of sugar, which also affects the cooking process and inevitably the flavor. Mexican coke - or another cane sugar based soda (rather than HFCS) works best. Hope this helps!

In reply to Tara. You should cut it up first and it should take about 8 hours.

In reply to Mackenzie. So glad you and your friend liked it! Yes, the pork should continue to tenderize as it cooks. Be careful about opening your slow cooker too much as it can slow down the cooking. Enjoy!
