...4 pork butts and pulled them yesterday. Refrigerated and plan to serve tomorrow. A couple questions for the experts...1) Should I add finishingsauce before or after reheating? I'm inclined to add it before to help the moisture. 2) I was going to use the oven to reheat, but am now considering...
I used the hot honey and yard birds on my last couple buts, then after adding the finishingsauce I added more hot honey to get the heat back, worked great! I probably would rerub ribs tho.
I've been doing this for a few years. The key to getting the right texture is taking the pork butt a little past your normal finishing temp, I usually take mine to 210°, to get the softer 'mushy' feel, doing this helps them hold together better when smashing.
Pop one on a toasted bun with some...
...I cook all butts at 275 start to finish. Low and slow just takes longer. I dont wrap or spritz, just smoke till done, rest, pull and add finishingsauce.
BUT: like @chopsaw mentioned. I will rarely cook something (or try new methodology) for others for the first time. Its dicey and...
...mustard that then gets mixed with the mayo and some vinegar, I have used red wine, apple cider, Black Cherry balsamic, or even the finishingsauce mentioned above depending on my mood and what's on hand. this is then added to the shredded coleslaw mix...
1 cup mayo
1 cup mustard ( Mix...
I do this all the time.... I rest "pull & clean" to chunks then Vacuum seal.... then slow warm in a covered foil pan with finishingsauce and then finish pulling right before serving...
...to throw a rack on for our dinner.
No pictures of the finished PP, but it's with the SMF rub and will be finished with JJ's finishingsauce (RIP) on Saturday. Wound up with 7.4lbs finished PP from two picnics.
The ribs are SMF rub with sweet baby ray's sauce in the end. Wound up doing a...
...It will rest in a pan long enough to where I can handle it.
Once it is pulled, I will add a good splash of Carolina style finishingsauce, made from 50:50 Apple juice and Apple cider vinegar with several good shakes of the rub added, , this is make up earlier in day, an something I also...
Personally, I’ve had better luck warming PP in chunks or whole but chunks are faster. Then pull or chop. I would most likely chunk them up then heat slow to a serving temp then pull or chop, but that’s just me. Also a finishingsauce is very beneficial here after reheat and process.
How were those "juicy thighs"?
I frequently cook out my marinades to make a finishingsauce.
I kept my comments in my head. Gotten in trouble a few time.
...is CLASSIC concession stand far if you want other ideas).
If you want to add a little flavor there are 2 well known SMF classic "finishing sauces". I prefer JJs. We actually made JJ's finishingsauce as a sauce on the side as it's a DEAD RINGER for NC PP sauce. LOVE the nacho cheese...
Sammiches or just general picking. Touch on the soft side as expected, but not overall too bad. I’d do this again if in a rush. Finishingsauce and serve.
...cooler for a couple hours, before pulling.
Verdict: Flavor was good, but not as spicy as I had expected. In fact, I added a vinegar finishingsauce that contained more dried hatch chile flakes to give a bit more kick. Took it to the party, and everyone loved it. (As an aside, besides my...
...once it gets warmed up decent I can cut the heat back. I do not have an instapot. I like the apple juice idea. I did make the JJ finishingsauce one time a couple years ago, I'll consider that. What does NC mean? This concessions stand does get some decent food since they ask for 8 crock...
