Many people like to cook pork butt, or shoulder, but often times are stumped on how to go about doing it right. The pork butt can be found in the bottom section of the pack, right below the loin section. The cut is about the thickness of a large onion. Slice the pork butt into 1/2 inch thick pieces and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a large, shallow pan and sear over high heat until it is a golden brown. Use a very large spatula to move the pork around to brown evenly. Remove the pork to a plate, and let cool.

How to season pork butt

For a pork butt, seasonings are really optional. Some people like to grill their pork butts and serve them with vinegar and mustard, while other people like to use a brine. Brining the pork means it can have a lot of flavor when cooked. The brine adds moisture to the pork and infuses it with flavor. For a brine, you will need: 3 to 4 gallons of water, 2 cups of salt, 1 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 or 2 bay leaves. Boil the water and bring it to a boil. Add the salt, sugar, and bay leaves. Remove from heat and set aside. If you’re grilling the pork butt, cut it into two to four large chunks. If you’re brining it, cut it into three to six small chunks. Be sure that the pork butt is in one piece. Rub the pork butt with a little bit of salt and pepper. Then, place it into a gallon-sized ziploc bag. Pour in the brine until the pork butt is covered. Place the bag into the fridge and leave it there for two to four hours. Remove it from the fridge and let it sit for at least an hour before grilling. If you’re grilling, you’ll want to place the pork butt on the grill for about an hour, or until the outside is brown.

When and how to eat pork

In our house we generally eat pork for dinner. Occasionally we like to have a pork roast as part of a larger meal. We’ve also had some really delicious tacos that we made with pork loin. We’ve never cooked pork butt before, so when we decided to go ahead and try some, we wanted to make sure we had some proper cooking techniques down. We decided to start by making tacos. In a separate pan, we seared the pork loin before adding it to our taco shell. After about 4 minutes, we removed it and placed it in our refrigerator. We let it sit overnight. In the morning we took it out and warmed it up in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the desired internal temperature was reached. The pork had a nice, crispy outside and a nice juicy center.

Choosing the right cut of pork

For the most part, people buy pork butt because it’s inexpensive. Although, it may also be due to the fact that it is easier to prepare. A pork shoulder can be difficult to prepare. But, because of this, people often use the neck and lower back parts of the pork shoulder. This is probably the reason why you buy pork butt at the store. But, if you want to ensure that you are getting the best cuts of pork, you should consider making your own. To get the best cuts of pork, you need to make sure you cook it the right way. For one, make sure that you remove the bones and skin when cooking the pork. The skin and bones take a long time to cook. This can result in the pork being overly dry or tough. Also, you want to be sure to let the pork rest after it is cooked.

Getting the hang of cooking your own food
