What to do with pork shoulder?

Anonymous
I got a big hunk of pork yesterday at safewsy - not a pork loin but a less expensive cut because I was hoping to make pulled pork in my slow cooker.

However, I discovered my slow cooker is borken so I cannot use that. Is there another way to make pulled pork? Or something else I can do with the meat before it goes bad?

Sorry- typo- (am using a clumsy new keyboard) - my slow cooker is broken, not borken.

YOu can make pulled pork on a charcoal grill - takes hours but it is so awesome. I get super excited when DH makes that a weekend day project!

Yes, you can braise the meat in the oven or on the stovetop for pulled pork. There are plenty of recipes online.

Slice into steaks and make BBQ pork steaks.

Thanks for all the suggestions... but YIKES! some of these are 30 hours + in the oven... I'll need to take days off work to do it. Do people actually leave the oven on all day while at work??

Southern style pork from ATK is 5 hours total cooking time.

Carnita Mexican style pulled pork from ATK is about 3 hour total cooking time.

This is my dream.


I tried this recipe, it took about 8 hours in the oven and didn't have much flavor.

The Tyler Florence recipe is not 30 hours of cooking. It is 6 hrs of cooking. No idea where the 30 hrs comes from...unless you're marinating overnight. But you don't have to.

I would make the same recipe in a dutch oven in a low temp oven for several hours.

Do you have a dutch oven? Do it basically the same way you would in a crockpot, but put it in your oven.
