Pulled pork, five ways (lots of pictures)

Recommended Posts

A while ago I made some pulled pork. The cook itself was pretty straightforward. I made my usual rub mix.

Shaken, not stirred.

Put it all over the pork.

And into Smaug.

Final product, after a 11 hour cook at 225ºF.

Nice smoke ring.

Plated, with roasted cauliflower and cornbread pudding.

It was at this point that I realized I had made a fatal error. This was a 10-1/2 lb. pork butt. There are just four of us. And we had neglected to invite anyone over to help us eat it. So over the course of the week, we proceeded try a variety of dishes made with the pork.

Quesadillas.

Pulled pork sandwiches.

Pulled pork burritos. We may never have to go to Chipotle again.

And finally, pulled pork fried rice. I’m impressed that you can still see the smoke ring on these pieces.

These weren’t just single meals, either. For example, there was enough pulled pork fried rice for dinner one night, and lunch the next day. It was all very yummy, but it’s going to be a little while before I make pulled pork again. ^_^

I love it....All great uses!

 

I vote for getting a Vacmaster or other vacuum sealer so you don't need to OD on the larger cuts.

As a working father of 3, who also does all the cooking, I routinely freeze packets of pork and brisket for quick dinners.

Then simply pop them defrosted OR frozen into the sous vide water bath and return to the desired temperature without further cooking.
