Digdirt - Canning Pulled Pork
Comments (8)Hmmm, I've got a whole pork loin (10 lbs) taking up room in my freezer, we like pulled pork but I usually do it in the slow cooker. Once I thaw the loin out (have to empty the bottom shelf of my fridge to do that), I'd like to cut it into roasts and cook it all at once rather than refreeze 2/3 of it. But can anybody tell me how many pints of pulled pork 10 lbs will make? And should it be cooked thoroughly (I usually cook it in vinegar and tomatoes, then add some BBQ sauce after shredding), or slightly undercooked, as the NCHFP instructions for "meat strips" say to cook until rare?...See MorePulled Pork to Carnitas
Comments (13)Colleen, is the pulled pork you use sweet and vinegar-y? I'm trying to imagine all these flavors together but my brain keeps saying carnitas should taste "like this". Stupid brain. Cathy, I've used a similar rub then cooked low and slow in the oven. The taste was good but my roast ended up dry. What did I do wrong? As for the Liqiuid Smoke, there's something about that flavor that doesn't do it for me, although my husband and brother in law are okay with it. Adding real cut up smoked pork (chops) gave it that authentic taste w/o having to use the liquid stuff or actually do the smoking. Semi-related story: When we were newlyweds we lived next to my new sister in law. Imagine Martha Stewart with a southern accent, black hair and startling blue eyes. She was so perfect that it was intimidating - the way she kept her home, the way she looked, everything - but especially her cooking. Everything she made was delicioius, and there I was next door, only knowing how to cook hot dogs, hamburgers, frozen pizza and tacos. I had a taste for sloppy joes one day - which we called bar b q sandwiches in my family. I called up the sil and asked, "How do you make bar b q?" To which she answered, "Well, first you dig a pit ..." I've been trying to perfect NC barbeque ever since then (without having to dig anything, lol). In other news, my son, his girlfriend and one of their friends stopped by on Sunday so I have WAY LESS leftovers to screw up. Thank you all for your help!...See MoreHow to fix pulled pork
Comments (41)Posted by lindac " Stumpy.....can't be true....at 270 degrees for 4 hours.....that meat has to be boiled!...Must be that your thermo pen is wrong and your oven thermostat... Wonder what site posted that temperature stall? -----" FOAS, I agree. No need for you to sidetrack further into other variables in your pulled pork preparation, especially I have already found information to support your findings. I was merely pointing out the fact that your preparation was never intended to be a universally and scientifically conclusive experiment. Furthermore, I did not think your Thermapen was defective. It is a fairly reliable device, OTOH, as I suggested, oven temperature setting is notoriously inaccurate. About "boiling". I assume you are aware of the fact that cooking in water and baking in an oven are completely different in that air contains significantly fewer BTUs Specific Heat) and much lower in conductivity to transfer heat to the food. In any case, 270 F is not a very high temperature. Try baking at 500 degrees for four hours and you will see what will happen to your meat. Keeping in mind also, baking a large loaf of bread at say at 350 F, it can easily reach 200 F in the center in a relatively short time, even the bread is exactly structured like Styrofoam thermal insulation. So, in summary, we are in agreement on all relevant points. Low heat and long cooking time for meat is good (not talking about pressure cooker), and to repeat myself ad nauseum, traditional way of cooking has proven to produce delicious results, but never cook a beautiful chunk of prime rib in a 500 F oven for four hours. Your pork looks beautiful. Wish I could say the same about your buns. :-) dcarch...See MoreLOOKING for: good slo cooker recipe for pulled pork
Comments (6)I got this at Southern Living a few years back. It's really good. I left in her comments. HeyReub's sounds really good too. Posted by ShannonSpangler: Pulled Pork Recipe for Slow Cooker In my experience, it takes at least 7 hours to make good barbeque. This one is made in a slow cooker, and I think that will make it easy for you. To serve 30, you might see if you can borrow two more slow cookers from friends or family members. In other words, you'll need to make three batches since this recipe serves 8-12 people in one 4 qt. slow cooker. PULLED PORK 4 to 5 lb. pork butt roast RUB Ingredients: 1 Tbsp. mild paprika 1 tsp. light brown sugar 1/4 tsp. celery salt 1/4 tsp. garlic salt 1/4 tsp. dry ground mustard 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper 1/4 tsp. onion powder 1/8 tsp. salt Combine all seasonings in a bowl and then put in a shaker. This will make it easier to season the meat. After you shake it on all sides actually take your hands and rub it in the meat. Do this a day ahead, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator at least 8 hours (overnight). The next day, brown roast on all sides in 2 Tbsp. HOT vegetable oil in a large skillet. Then, tranfer to the 4-qt. slow cooker. (Cut roast to fit if necessary). Make vinegar recipe below and pour HALF of it over the roast. Cover and cook on HIGH 5-6 hours or on LOW 8-9 hours. Remove from slow cooker carefully. Allow the meat to cool for approx. 30 minutes on a cutting board. (Meanwhile, clean slow cooker). After it has cooled, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces with a fork. Place meat a little at a time back into slow cooker and squirt each with reserved vinegar sauce. You can warm it up for your guests on LOW heat.... like using the crockpot as a chafing dish. VINEGAR SAUCE (reserve half) 2 cups cider vinegar 1 1/3 cups water 5/8 cup ketchup 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 5 tsp salt 4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 1 tsp. ground black pepper 1 tsp. ground white pepper In a medium bowl, whisk together cider vinegar, water, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and white pepper. Continue to whisk until brown sugar and salt dissolve. Pour half over raw meat in crockpot and reserve the other half for squirt bottles....See More- 10 years ago
