Crock Pot Boston Butt Shoulder For Pulled Pork Recipes

CROCK-POT BOSTON BUTT SHOULDER FOR PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Rinse roast and remove as much fat from the outside as is practical.
• Dry the roast and slather with mustard.
• Add enough rub to cover the roast evenly (don't be stingy).
• Using hands, rub the spices and mustard into the roast on all sides.
• Place 1 1/2 inch balls of aluminum foil in a 4 or 5 quart crock pot to raise the roast above liquids that will collect in the pot.
• Place the roast into the crock pot and set on low.
• Cook the roast until it is 190 to 200F internal temperature.
• During the cook, the liquids collected may be removed and chilled for defatting.
• Depending on how "hot" your crock pot cooks, this may take 8 to 12 hours on low or 5 to 8 hours on high. I recommend using temperature rather than time.
• Another indication of doneness is to try to remove the blade bone by hand. If it can be easily removed, it is done.
• Rest the roast until it can pulled apart by hand or with forks. Remove fat as you pull the pork.
• Wet the roast with a portion of the defatted juices and mix.
• Serve with your favorite sauce, applied on the side or on top for sandwiches.

SLOW-COOKED PULLED PORK SHOULDER

Steps:

• Place the pork shoulder into the ceramic bowl of a slow cooker. Pour enough water and white vinegar into the slow cooker to assure the pork is completely covered, maintaining a 2-to-1 ratio of vinegar to water. Add the salt. Put the ceramic bowl in the refrigerator and allow the pork to marinate at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Drain enough of the liquid from the ceramic bowl until about 1/2-inch of pork is left exposed. Add the onion to the remaining liquid. Season the exposed surface of the pork with the cumin, mustard, chili powder, and brown sugar. Place the bowl into the base of the slow cooker and cook on High until the pork is tender and falls apart easily, 8 to 10 hours.
• Carefully remove the pork to a cutting board; shred the meat into strands using a pair of forks. Remove and discard any excess fat.

SLOW COOKER BEER PULLED PORK

Steps:

• Set the slow cooker to High.
• Place the pork in the slow cooker. Season top of pork with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Pour beer into the bottom of the slow cooker and place the lid on the slow cooker crock.
• Cook pork on High for 1 hour. Reduce slow cooker heat to Low and cook for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Remove pork from the slow cooker and shred with two forks. Discard juices and rinse out slow cooker crock. Return shredded pork to slow cooker and stir barbeque sauce into pork.
• Cook on Medium for 1 hour.

SLOW COOKER BBQ PULLED PORK

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, salt and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork. If you have time, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight. If you don't, no worries; proceed to Step 2.
• Lightly grease the crock of a slow cooker. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear the pork until golden brown on all sides, about 2 minutes each side. Add onion, if using, to the slow cooker. Add the pork on top of the onion. Pour soda over the pork and set the slow cooker to low for 6 to 8 hours, until the meat has collapsed and shreds easily.
• Drain most of the liquid from the slow cooker and shred the meat directly in the pot. Add about 1/2 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir to combine. (At this point, if you like crisp bits in your pulled pork, you can spread the shredded pork on a sheet pan and place under a broiler for a couple minutes then return to the slow cooker.) Taste and add more barbecue sauce, hot sauce, salt or pepper, if desired. Serve with soft rolls and extra sauce on the side.
