    Isn't pulled pork a scam?

    • +4

      Not on my taste buds it isn't.

      • And the secret recipe is???

        • Low and slow. Oven 150c for 4-ish hours, deep roasting dish covered in foil.
          I like to use a basic seasoning/rub of salt, pepper and ground fennel seed, and put about a cup of apple cider in the pan at the start (instead of stock) and use the cider pan juices for a gravy base at the end.
          Can also skim off the fat from the pan part way through and use that to roast some veggies.

          Of course if you also want crackling, then that's a different process!

        How is pulled beef a scam?

      • +4

        You don't know what a scam means do you?

          @BuyoTheCat:

          I think your miscommunication about it being a "scam" is anyplace that would sell by volume rather than weight.

          obviously pulled meat + sauce is going to be less total volume of meat over just regular meat….
          that doesnt mean its a scam.

        Buy a cheap, tough cut of meat with lots of connective tissue, slow cook it until it's soft.. pull it apart and mix it up with the cooking juices = pulled beef/pork/lamb

        What's the scam here?

        • +6

          I think the scam part involves leg pulling… ;)

        • @StewBalls:
          Good, well this is a pork shoulder … so no scam here

      Came to see if anyone had asked this. Was not disappointed. :D

    • Nonsense! Pulled beef is a scam!

  • That's my first time to see Pork deal.

      Won't be the last if I can help it…

  • Only in VIC as stores only available there!

  • I love the irony that this cut of meat is often referred to as Pork Butt…hehehe, I said butt! :)

      More correctly it is Boston Butt. Bonus points for knowing how it got that name.

        Bonus round has to go to google on this one; mildly interesting story, I was hoping it might be a bit more risque, but it might come in handy for a trivia night…duly noted & filed for posterity! ;)

      • Bonus points for knowing that in Australia a Pork Shoulder isn't the same cut as a Boston Butt in the US.

        • No but it's very similar, basically have to instruct the butcher to remove all bones but the blade.

        • @bemybubble: yep, find a butcher who is willing to do some butchering.

    So it's on the bone - how much meat after I take out the bone and skin/fat to cook some carnitas with the meat?

    • Pull it and find out?

    • +10

      Better to cook the whole thing low and slow then remove bones. Meat is much nicer cooked on the bone.

    Perfect to go with the cheap cabinet smoker at Aldi this week.

    loads at my local!

  • How come these discount places don't exist a little closer to the city, even somewhere like Reservwar (lol phonetics) or Coburg?
    BOOERNS

  • I can't wait to get this on my fork!!

  • Wow, Just finished watching cowspiracy documentary on Netflix and saw this post on Ozbargain.
