The Secret to Cooking the Perfect Pulled Pork in a Slow Cooker
Slow cooking is an easy and convenient way to make delicious meals. One of the most popular dishes to make in a slow cooker is pulled pork. With just a few simple ingredients and a few hours of cooking time, you can have a delicious meal that will feed your family for days. Here are the secrets to cooking the perfect pulled pork in a slow cooker.
Choose the Right Cut of Pork
The key to making the perfect pulled pork is choosing the right cut of meat. Look for a cut with plenty of fat and marbling, such as pork shoulder or pork butt. The fat will help keep the meat moist and flavorful as it cooks. Trim off any excess fat before adding it to the slow cooker.
Prepare Your Seasonings
Once you have chosen your cut of meat, it’s time to prepare your seasonings. A classic pulled pork seasoning mix includes garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix all of these ingredients together in a bowl and rub them all over the pork before adding it to the slow cooker.
Cook Low and Slow
The secret to making perfect pulled pork is cooking low and slow. Set your slow cooker on low heat and cook for 8-10 hours or until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily with a fork. Once it’s done cooking, let it rest for 10 minutes before shredding with two forks or using an electric mixer. Serve with your favorite BBQ sauce or enjoy plain.
Pulled pork is one of those dishes that just gets better with time. With these simple tips, you can make sure that your pulled pork turns out perfectly every time.
