1. to 325 degrees F, ensuring a rack is positioned in the center of the oven.
2. Using a sharp paring knife, carefully cut a few deep slits into each piece of pork shoulder, then insert sliced garlic into each pocket.
3. Add the olive oil to a large, heavy-bottomed pot with a lid over medium-high heat (I use a 5-qt Dutch oven). Once the oil is hot & shimmering, carefully add in the prepared pork. Work in batches, as necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pot (which prevents browning). Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Transfer the browned pork to a plate, remove the pot from the heat & set aside to cool.
4. Place the seared pork in the center of one of the pieces of banana leaf. Season with the Hawaiian sea salt & 1 tablespoon of the liquid smoke, using your hands to rub the salt & liquid smoke all over the surface of the pork. Arranged the seasoned pork in a small pile at the center of the banana leaf, folding the corners & edges of the banana leaf into the center to encase the pork. Carefully flip & set the wrapped pork seam side down on the second section of banana leaf. Repeat folding with the remaining pieces of banana leaf. Note: The banana leaf may split a little bit as you work, which is okay. Just work quickly & do your best to completely encase the pork in the banana leaf.

3. Place the Instant Pot liner into the base of the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water to the meat. Lock the lid, turn the sealing knob to the SEALING position, then cook on manual high pressure for 120 minutes and a full natural pressure release (or 30 minutes).
4. Because the Instant Pot liner was cold, it will take a while for it to come to pressure. Allot at least 30 minutes on the pressure building side and the natural pressure release on top of the 120 cook time.
