Slow cooker diaries: Pulled Pork (finally)

20130721-200536.jpg

This is the dish I’ve been itching to make since I got the SC 10 months ago. It’s extremely easy. I love easy. Marinated the Boston Butt (teehee) in BBQ sauce overnight. Dumped butt (haha) into cooker, added ketchup & water to BBQ marinade. SC on low 8 hours, then shredded and kept warm. Bought cole slaw and potato salad. Made salad. Bought Macrina Bakery brioche slider buns. That bun at top is a mini sandwich. Can you tell?

I feel like I missed the day in 7th grade Home Ec when we learned about different cuts of meat. Tenderloin, shoulder (aka Boston butt – har har), ribs, loin chops etc. I mentioned this to the husband and he shrugged. I just read up on it and learned, he said. Well, yeah, I’ve read about this but it doesn’t stick. I need a test, then maybe I’ll learn meat cuts.

But, I digress. The pulled pork tasted great. Slow cooking is an excellent option in the summer, to avoid a hot kitchen.
