Secrets To Making Pulled Pork

December 30th, 2006 by admin

Although it may be the best choice to make pulled pork using a smoker or grill, it is not the only way.  You can make delicious pulled pork in your oven.  The key to cooking the pork in your oven but having the pork come out deliciously tender is to use low and indirect heat and cooking very slowly.

The cut of pork usually used for pulled pork is the pork shoulder, but when my sister makes pulled pork, she uses a whole pork loin and it comes out delicious.  Everyone loves her pulled pork barbecue.  Another tip is you can cook the pork in the cooking bags and this will help keep it tender as well.

My sister doesn’t really have a set recipe for her pulled pork barbecue, though. I think this is what makes it taste so good.  She just adds her ingredients and doesn’t measure!
