What cut of pork is best for slow cooker pulled pork?
If you are now ready for some delicious pulled pork, there are a few things to consider before turning on your slow cooker. First, let’s consider what cut of pork we are going to cook. Pulled pork can come from any slow cooker pork roast, but the best piece of meat is the pork shoulder (aka the pork butt.) Pork shoulders have great flavor, but they are tough pieces of meat that are just begging to be cooked low and slow. Any pork butt will do, but when buying pork shoulder, don’t be afraid to go big. Buy as large a piece of meat as you can fit into your slow cooker and do not worry, it will be done in six to eight hours.
