The cut generally used for slow-roasted pork recipes is pork shoulder or pork butt, because they’re cheap and flavorful cuts.\u00a0 They are tougher cuts, so we cook for a long time at a low temperature to tenderize.<\/p>\n

There are several ways to do this, leading to relatively similar results.\u00a0 My favorite is the Dutch oven, but I’m biased because I love<\/em> my Dutch oven.<\/p>\n

To make pulled pork<\/strong>, allow the roast to cool before pulling it apart with a fork.<\/p>\n

1.) Prepare the meat (choose at least one):<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Brine overnight.<\/li>\n
  • Use a dry rub.<\/li>\n
  • Season with salt.<\/li>\n
  • Stuff herbs everywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2.) Prepare the pot<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Put down a layer of chopped onions and garlic for the pork to rest on\/over.<\/li>\n
    2. Add bunches of herbs.<\/li>\n
    3. Pour 1-2c of broth into the pot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      3.) Cook the meat<\/h2>\n

      Roasting pan<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Preheat oven to 250F.<\/li>\n
      2. Set fat side up on the rack in the roasting pan. Cover with foil.<\/li>\n
      3. Roast until internal temp is 180F.\u00a0 The rule of thumb is about 40 minutes per pound.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Dutch Oven<\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Preheat oven to 250F<\/li>\n
        2. Braise the meat in the Dutch oven until browned on all sides.<\/li>\n
        3. Cover and place in oven.\u00a0 Roast until internal temp is 180F.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Slow Cooker<\/h3>\n
            \n
          1. Place fat side up in the slow cooker.<\/li>\n
          2. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or until internal temp 180F.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            4.) Don’t waste the juices!<\/h2>\n
              \n
            1. Drain the liquid and place in the fridge.<\/li>\n
            2. When the fat congeals, scrape off to remove.<\/li>\n
            3. Spoon the juices over the pork to moisten…<\/li>\n
            4. Or reduce to make a gravy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
