Chef's Notes
Do not trim every ounce of fat off the pork shoulder. Fat equals flavor and moisture, and nobody likes dry, sad pulled pork.
Pro Tip
Letting the pork rest for 10 minutes before shredding keeps all those divine juices trapped inside the meat where they belong.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to sear the pork first and just dumping it in raw, resulting in a bland, gray lump of meat that tastes like a rainy Tuesday.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the pork shoulder refuse to leave the slow cooker? Because it was having an absolute meltdown after eight hours of sitting in a hot tub.
The Culinary Science
Slow cooking breaks down tough collagen in the pork shoulder into gelatin, creating that melt-in-your-mouth texture without drying out the meat.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
