The Pulled Pork Thread

[Non Sequitur]

Hmm, that actually sounds really good. I may try that next time. Did you use a fryer or just a pan to fry it?

Just a big old cast iron pan.

I did pulled pork today and tried something new. I took half of the pork I smoked and fried it crisp and served it up as carnitas. I had a pulled pork sandwich line and a street taco carnitas line. Most people went through both lines, but I got more positive comments about the carnitas than I did for the sandwiches.

I do that with leftover pulled pork all the time. One of my favorite things about pulled pork leftovers. I try to keep as much of the rendered fat that has hardened after being in the fridge a day or two. A couple of spoonfuls of that heated up in a cast iron then the pulled pork makes for awesome carnitas. Pulled pork is so versatile and really hard to screw up. I love it.

We usually do 2 per person. Grab them early because they typically run out.

Yeah last time I tried to pick some up the line was out the door and they were gone before I could get any. I just called and placed a preorder.

We prefer Lavern's bakery - and we allot 7 rolls person - 10 for me.

Yep. That was pretty close. We had two dozen people, and I bought five dozen rolls, but ended up with 1.75 dozen left over rolls, which will go quickly with some leftovers. Love those rolls!

There may come a day when my wife realizes that all she needs for delicious BBQ is a login for CS. A day when she abandons me and seeks out better smoked pork.

But it is not this day.



Costco bone-in butts, JL's rub recipe and smoking process, and a homemade Carolina mustard sauce, courtesy of All-American's recipe in this same thread. Thanks guys! Making me look good for 6 years running.

Bravo.

Man, I really need to try that Carolina mustard sauce. I've got to remember this the next time I do pulled pork.

If you're going to be talking about bone-in butts, You really should have a NSFW warning.

I know several here have experience cooking for large groups. When cooking pulled pork, how much in pre-cooked weight do you plan on buying per person?
