Looking for Pulled Pork recipes

[Hosehead]

Looks good! I used a crock pot to make pulled pork for a while. I was unimpressed with the BBQ restaurants around Los angeles(they should stick to avocados) so I bought a cheap smoker.
If at all possible, you should buy a smoker. The real flavor comes with the smoke. I've really gotten in to smoking at home. A Weber smoky mountain works well and costs about $300 American.
Don't get me wrong, I like it all, but once you get a smoker and learn the basics, you'll never go back. Just one okies two cents. Have fun!

I'm getting ready to do a 7# shoulder today as well.

I suspect this approach might raise some eyebrows, but I've done a 5 lb. pork shoulder in a pressure cooker several times and it really came out great in 60 mins of cook time. I've also found that the pressure cooker delivers much more predictable results than my slow cooker. With the slow cooker I was getting dry/tough pork from time to time and I couldn't figure out why. It was a really old Crock Pot, so maybe it was behaving erratically.

Regardless, since we got a pressure cooker, I'd never try to use a slow cooker again.

The key as with slow cooker pulled pork is to make sure you have enough liquid so it doesn't get dry.

As others have mentioned, you won't get the smoky flavor as with a dry smoker, but with a good rub/marinade you can still do impressive things in an incredibly short time.

This is the recipe I've used most recently. I didn't bother with the lettuce wraps and all that, but the pork came out great. It wouldn't pass for "BBQ" but the rub is very good.

Agree! My grandma does a beef barbecue and uses a pressure cooker. Old school one that she has used forever. Some of the most tender shredded beef barbecue you'll ever eat!

I've always had a problem cooking pork or chicken. Chicken/pork is either overcooked and dry or undercooked.

Then your doing it wrong!

Funny though...I was thinking of rubbing my pork again soon.

With all the waste that seems to be happening with plants closing down, pork (the wild variety) might be what's for dinner around here.

I'm surprised that haven't created a statewide posse on them like they have with the Python problem!

Go buy a digital instant meat thermometer. You can get a good one on Amazon for $22 with lifetime warranty. Or get the one where you stick the probe in the meat and leave the probe in the oven $20. The readout stays outside of the oven. I have both and they work well. Never again will you under or overcook anything. I used the instant one to check the accuracy of my radiator fluid temp gauge.

The crockpot (not cockpot) is my friend. Load it and leave it!
