Pork shoulder rest time6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() This results in incredibly tender and juicy pork once you’re finished. Slow and low will allow for the fat and connective tissues to render down properly, essentially basting the whole shoulder as you cook it. You definitely don’t want to rush the cooking process. ![]() I generally have a game plan of 9-10 hours that I’ll be cooking it for, so I just keep that in mind for what time I should put it in the oven for when I get up in the morning. Pork shoulder normally takes up a whole afternoon of cooking, but I really don’t like smelling the pork all day and getting hungry, so I opt to cook it overnight. It does take a little extra cooking time, and a little more patience – but it’s so easy and way cheaper. Instead of getting those soft stringy – almost mushy – pieces of meat, we’ll have meaty chunks of pork that we can literally pull apart with our fingers. This cut of meat is generally a little bit tougher than a Boston Butt, though ends up with a great final texture and more flavor. Not to mention, it’s usually boneless which means it can dry out if you’re not careful. If you end up using a Boston Butt, you will have to keep an eye on it – it will cook quicker and is usually a bit smaller in size. Boston Butt is generally a bit more expensive, but will usually have the bone removed for easier serving. There are 2 parts of the pork shoulder – the Picnic Roast (what we’re using) and Boston Butt (which comes from the upper part of the shoulder). Yep, that’s under $2 a pound – and it’ll feed an entire family for a few days! Pulled pork is just plain delicious – and if you think we have to slather or smoke this baby just to coax some flavor out of it – you could never have been so wrong.ĭouble check on what type of pork shoulder you are actually getting. Yesterday, I picked up this 8 pound roast for just under $16. On keto, I’m always looking for different ways to get fatty meats into my diet that will taste great and keep my wallet (and stomach) full. ![]()
