When the cook time ends, turn off the pressure cooker. Let the pressure release naturally. When the valve drops, carefully remove the lid, Carefully transfer the meat to a bowl and shred it with 2 forks, discarding any excess fat. Skim the fat off the liquid in the pot. Add 1/2 cup (120 ml) cooking liquid to the shredded pork.

Spread mustard on the bottom halves of the rolls. Top with cooked pork, ham, cheese, and pickles. Place the top half of the roll on top. Put the sandwiches into a preheated panini press and grill for 5 to 6 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread is toasted.
