Do you cut the fat off pork shoulder before slow cooking?
Pork shoulder has a good amount of fat layer on the surface. Make sure to cut away most of the excess fat, leaving just a small amount for flavor. This will make it easier to remove the fat later when making the barbecue sauce.
What liquid do you use for pulled pork?
Transfer everything to a large slow cooker and add a splash of liquid — water is great, but so is broth, apple juice, or beer if you have them handy. Cover and cook on low until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily. Here’s the thing about slow cooker pork: You can’t rush it.
