Title: Schnuck's has pork butt for 89 cents a pound...
Post by: squirtthecat on September 01, 2009, 08:34:30 AM

However, they are 'sliced for steaks'.    Can I can still do pulled pork with these?   Same low & slow cook times/temps? (finish covered in pan, etc.)

They also have flat cut briskets (packer trimmed in bag) for 3.49 a pound.  And baby back ribs for 3.69 a pound.

Never tried it but I'd sure be making a bunch of Tasso.

I've never done it before either but I have thought about. I absolutely love the bark and I can't help but think this would produce a really nice sandwich meat, even sliced. If you give it a shot let us know how it turns out.

The one time I did these I did not like the outcome, or at least it was not what I wanted.

IMHO, the sliced pork butt has too much surface to mass ratio to get to pulled pork.

I would probably tie the slices back up into a butt and do it that way, or make tasso.

That's my thinking as well...   Too much surface area for the slow cook.  What is 'tasso'?  I'll do some Googling..

I'm with the Sea Turtle on this one.  That has tasso written all over it!  Tasso is a highly seasoned meat used for seasoning in a lot of cajun dishes.  There are recipes for it on the forum.  Do a search!

Thanks guys!  I just found that right before lunch..   Looks interesting.

However, the MIL requested pulled pork, (she can't eat spicy food), so I'll pull my reserve butt out of the freezer tomorrow night.
