Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder is the best cut for pulled pork because it has a good amount of fat and connective tissue, which helps to create a tender and flavorful dish.
  • Season the pork well: A good rub or marinade will help to add flavor to the pork and keep it moist during cooking.
  • Cook the pork slowly: Pulled pork is best cooked low and slow so that the connective tissue has time to break down and the meat becomes tender.
  • Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, it should be shredded using a fork or two forks. Shredding the pork helps to create a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the pork with your favorite sides: Pulled pork can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or baked beans.
