I want to try pulled pork in a crockpot and found a recipe online to cook the roast for 12 hours , then an additional 4 hours. I'm a little concerned having pork unrefrigerated for that length of time. Is this safe?
Has anyone tried this and was it tasty or dry.
Yup. Crockpots slow cook food. You're not leaving it on the counter 16 hours. It will be cooking the entire time. Plenty of places slow cook it for 16+ hours and you'd never know it unless they told you. And it's REALLY hard to make anything dry in a Crockpot.Liquid has no means of escaping unless you take the lid off.
The prep for carnitas is different from pulled pork and involves pouring milk over the pork before roasting, for extra crispiness. Carnitas doesn't taste like pulled pork either.
pork shoulder butt is one of the cheapest cuts on the critter, it is well marbled, which means its tasty!
so, its cheap and tasty, why wouldn't it be a great item??
more and more folks are using there slow cookers,,, which they are making more and more pulled pork- because it will fall apart and tender

I do it in my crockpot all the time. I buy a 3-4lb Boston Butt and just season it with SnP and a cup of water in the crockpot. I put it on low for 7 hours, pull it out, shred it, mix in bbq sauce and then put it back in for 1 hour on low. AMAZING. If you go a bigger cut of meat, say 5-6lbs, I would do 8 hrs, shred, and then 1 hour more. 16 hours is WAY too long
I'd say Pappy's in St. Louis or Central BBQ in Memphis. Roadkill Grill in Las Vegas has a claim too.
What do y'all think?
One place I can say for sure it is NOT is Phil's BBQ in San Diego. Went there quite a few times (lived in SD and lots of friends thought it was amazing) and never had a good ITEM there. Not one thing tasted even remotely good. Couldn't ever understand the hype that place has.
This question definitely does not have a definable answer. As stated, there's different styles of BBQ, that's the first problem. Secondly, there's different specific cuts and while one place might have amazing ribs but just decent brisket, another might have amazing brisket but just decent ribs, etc.
I've been to innumerable BBQ places all over the country, all the different styles. Honestly the old joke about beer holds true in my opinion: the best BBQ food is what I am having right now.
I've eaten BBQ all over the US and nothing compares.
