Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of pork: Pork shoulder or butt is the best cut for pulled pork because it is well-marbled and flavorful. Other cuts that can be used include pork loin or tenderloin, but they will be less tender.
  • Use a flavorful rub: The rub is what gives pulled pork its distinctive flavor. There are many different recipes for rubs, so experiment to find one that you like. Some common ingredients in rubs include brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and chili powder.
  • Cook the pork slowly and low: Pulled pork should be cooked slowly and low in order to tenderize the meat. The ideal cooking temperature is between 225 and 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Cook the pork until it reaches an internal temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Shred the pork: Once the pork is cooked, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to shred the pork.
  • Make the barbecue sauce: While the pork is cooking, make the barbecue sauce. There are many different recipes for barbecue sauce, so find one that you like. Some common ingredients in barbecue sauce include ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and spices.

Conclusion:

Pulled pork sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can make pulled pork sandwiches that will impress your friends and family.
