Can you make pulled pork from pork picnic shoulder?
Unlike brisket, pulled pork can be made from any fatty pork roast or from a whole hog, but the best cut for pulled pork is the shoulder. High in fat and connective tissue, the shoulder is the most flavorful part of the hog. The pork shoulder is typically cut into two parts, the Boston butt and the picnic roast.
Is picnic pork the same as pork shoulder?
Pork shoulder is also called pork picnic shoulder and is found directly below the pork butt on the animal. This sub-primal cut runs from the bottom of the pork butt to the top of the front leg hoof. As opposed to the pork butt, this is a well-used muscle on the pig, making it a more dense and tough piece of meat.
Can I use pork shoulder for pulled pork?
The classic cut for pulled pork is a pork shoulder, which you may also see named at the store as pork butt or Boston butt. I prefer a boneless roast that has been tied, but you could do a bone-in cut as well.
What is pork shoulder picnic used for?
Like pork butt, picnic shoulder benefits from long and slow cooking. In addition to slicing, it is great to cut up and use as stew meat and in chilis, like Pork Green Chili and Red Chile Pork Stew. Picnic shoulder can also be cooked whole and then served sliced, almost like ham.
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.
Are smoked picnic hams already cooked?
Picnic hams are smoked and technically fully cooked. But because they have more fat than the leaner, pre-cooked hams we commonly buy, they need some extra cooking and not just reheating.
Why is it called picnic shoulder?
It’s called Picnic Shoulder because it comes from the shoulder of the pig (hog), which is technically the front legs of the pig including the shoulder blade. The shoulder yields two large pork roasts.
Is picnic shoulder the same as Boston butt?
The picnic shoulder is located directly below the Boston butt, and includes all of the leg until the hock, right above the pig’s front foot. There are some instances where we opt for this cut over Boston butt.
How do you cut a picnic shoulder?
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.
Do you take skin off pork shoulder before slow cooking?
Should the meat be skinless? Pork shoulder that’s due to be pulled should always be skinless to allow the flavours to permeate. You can ask your butcher to do this for you, but if you’re removing it yourself, don’t let the skin go to waste – roast it until crunchy and serve it on the side or as a snack.
How long do you cook a 10 lb pork shoulder?
10 pound pork roast: Start with the heat at 450° for 20 minutes, then turn the heat down to 250°F and continue to cook for 8 1/2 to 10 1/2 hours until the middle of the roast registers 180°F.
