Slow Cooked Pulled Pork (16)

Moist and tender slow-cooked pulled pork is perfect for sandwiches, tacos, pizza toppings, and somore. No need for a crock pot as the Folding Proofer turns any covered metal stock pot or Dutch oven into a slow cooker - just place the stockpot directly on the metal heating plate and set the temperature in Slow Cook mode. Only 15 minutes prep time and true one-pot cooking make this recipe as easy as it is delicious. Try our No-Knead Brioche for delectable pulled pork sandwich buns.

Ingredients

Table header 0VolumeGrams
Smoked paprika3 T36
Salt1 T24
Black pepper2 tsp6
Cayenne pepper¼ tsp.5
Brown sugar1 tsp5
Ground cumin *optional¾ tsp1.2
Honey½ C170
Red wine vinegar¼ C56
Olive oil¼ C56
Garlic cloves, thinly sliced315
Onion, large1340
Pork butt (or pork shoulder)3-3½ lbs1.5 kg

Equipment: Folding Proofer, metal 6-quart covered stock pot less than 8” tall with lid and short handles. Less than 8” total height will allow the pot to rest in the center of the Proofer during slow cooking. To learn more about slow cooking in different types of metal pots, see the FAQ What type of pot should I use for slow cooking?

Note: The original Folding Proofer Model FP-101 or FP-201 may also be used. Set the Proofer to 120 °F / 49 °C and place the stockpot directly on the base plate of the Proofer. Follow the recipe and check the internal temperature of the pork after 9 hours. Internal meat temperature should be at least 195 °F / 90 °C for tender pork.

Get ready. Remove the water tray and rack from the Proofer. Select Slow Cook Mode. Set the temperature at 195 °F / 90 °C.

Combine: Whisk together the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin and brown sugar in a small mixing bowl. Add honey, red wine vinegar, and olive oil to the spices. Stir until thoroughly combined. Gently stir in garlic slices just enough to coat them.

Prepare pot: Cut the onion into thick slices and place on the bottom surface of your stock pot. Cut the pork butt in half and place each piece on top of the onion slices. Spread the honey spice mixture over the top of the pork and place the lid on the pot.

Cover and cook: Place the covered stock pot directly on the center of the aluminum heating plate in the Proofer. Close the Proofer and allow the pork to cook for a total of 10 or 11 hours. Midway during the slow cook process you can turn the pork over once. After 10 hours check the interior of the pork with a thermometer. We recommend a temperature of 195-200 °F / 90-93 °C for tender, juicy pork which pulls apart easily.

* Note: Gently place the stock pot in the center of the Proofer base and avoid sliding your pot to prevent scratching the aluminum surface on the base of the Proofer.

How does one cook something at 120°F and attain an internal temperature of 190-210°F? If the folding proofer can do this, Brod and Taylor needs to contact the Department of Energy immediately. I’m guessing that it really is “set the temp to 210°F” not 120°F.

Thank you for a very good question. We agree the situation is a bit confusing, but actually there is no typo. Typically the Folding Proofer warms objects placed inside that are held on a rack about 1/2 inch above the heating plate. The heating plate does in fact reach a temperature significantly above the set-point. The plate actually reaches 200 F when the Proofer is set to 120 F. Objects placed on the rack above the heating plate will only achieve a temperature of 120 F while a covered pot placed directly on the heating plate surface (without the rack) will reach 200 F. This is just another of the many applications for this versatile appliance.

Brod & Taylor

Hi, under get ready it says: “Set the temperature at 195 °F / 90 °C.”Based on your comment this part is incorrect, no?

Hi Dan,This reply was written before we came out with the FP-105 Folding Proofer & Slow Cooker. The recipe above was rewritten for the FP-105 Slow Cooker mode which when selected accurately reflects the temperature of the contents inside the pot. Prior to this, with the FP-101 Folding Bread Proofer you needed to use a temperature conversion chart.

Mein Schweinenacken hatte bei 90 Grad Einstellung nach elf Stunden eine Kerntemperatur von gerade mal 60 Grad, also das funktioniert nicht wirklich dieses Rezept. Ich weiß nicht wie lange das jetzt noch mit dem Gerät brauchen würde um essbar zu sein. Ich habe es auf den Herd gestellt……

To achieve the highest temperature, you must use a shiny metal pot. The explanation is here:(Um die höchste Temperatur zu erreichen, müssen Sie einen glänzenden Metalltopf verwenden. Die Erklärung ist hier:)https://brodandtaylor.com/pages/faq#/collection/1013/article/4006If you use a pot that is black or has an enamel coating the temperature will be lower than the setting.(Wenn Sie einen Topf verwenden, der schwarz ist oder eine Emailbeschichtung aufweist, ist die Temperatur niedriger als die Einstellung.)

FAQs

How long is too long to slow cook pulled pork? ›

How long should you cook pulled pork in a Crock Pot? The Crock Pot is great for pulled pork because you need to cook it low and slow for several hours. I usually cook 4 lbs of pork shoulder for 7 hours on low. Be aware though, pulled pork will dry out if overcooked.

Can you overcook slow cooked pulled pork? ›

By the way, just as it's possible to overcook beef in a beef stew, it's quite possible to overcook pulled pork. You want your pork to be pull-apart tender—an indication that the connective tissue has broken down—but not so cooked that the muscle fibers themselves start to lose structure and turn to mush.

Do you need liquid in a slow cooker for pulled pork? ›

You don't technically HAVE to add liquid into your slow cooker for pulled pork because the pork will generate moisture. However, we do recommend adding some kind of liquid to the crock pot to make sure things stay nice and moist.

Why add apple cider vinegar to pulled pork? ›

The acid from the apple cider and apple cider vinegar help to tenderize the meat while also keeping it juicy and flavorful. The low and slow cooking method makes it fall apart as soon as your fork touches it and shreds beautifully.

Why add soda to pulled pork? ›

Typically, when you make pulled pork, you'll cook it in barbeque sauce or another acidic ingredient like vinegar, citrus, or Worcestershire sauce, which work to tenderize the pork. Now think about soda like any other marinade, working to help break down the meat for pull-apart results.

Should you brown pulled pork before slow cooking? ›

Preparing the pork

I prefer to season the meat before adding it to the slow cooker with my favourite spices, along with salt and pepper. I also recommend browning the meat slightly prior to slow cooking which will help maximise the flavour. However, this is a step that can be left out if you don't have enough time.

Does pork get more tender the longer you slow cook it? ›

At around 2 hours, your pork chops will be cooked through (145°F) and have a texture similar to chicken breast — tender, but firm. Between 3 to 6 hours, the chops will have a texture closer to pulled pork; it will be easy to cut with a fork and will pull easily from the bone.

Why is my slow cooked pork not shredding? ›

If the pulled pork doesn't shred easily you either got the wrong cut of meat, or it is not done cooking.

How long should pulled pork sit before shredding? ›

Allow pork butt to rest for as little as 30 minutes to as long as 5 hours; however, the ideal resting period to rest pork butt is between 1 and 2 hours. This gives the meat enough time to relax and allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

Is 4 hours long enough for pulled pork? ›

Cover and cook on LOW (recommended) 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours, until pork is tender and shreds easily with a fork.

Why is my pulled pork rubbery? ›

You can overcook pulled pork if you boil your pulled pork for too long or at too high a temperature, it won't shred easily and will likely become dry and tough. As a result, it may not be as tasty, moist, and tender as you'd like it to be.

What is the best liquid to moisten pulled pork? ›

Additionally, spray chicken broth or apple juice on the meat to prevent it from losing more moisture in the crockpot. To add a strong flavor during the process, white wine can also be sprayed.

What liquid is used for pulled pork? ›

Add about 1/4 Cup Liquid Per Pound of Pork

I use the term "liquid" loosely—some of your liquid could be ketchup or barbecue sauce or mustard.

What liquid keeps pulled pork moist? ›

Additionally, spray chicken broth or apple juice on the meat to prevent it from losing more moisture in the crockpot. To add a strong flavor during the process, white wine can also be sprayed. You can shred the pork during smoking or in the crockpot.

What liquid should I cook pork in? ›

If the meat is fresh or thawed, I add ¼ to ½ cup of water or chicken broth. Likewise, if you get a pork roast that has not had broth and salt added to it, you may want to add more salt.

How do I get more flavor in my pulled pork? ›

We use brown sugar, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, a good amount of salt & pepper, and a pinch of cayenne! Make sure you use all of the seasoning! Also, really rub it into the pulled pork, get all of the nooks and crannies!

What liquid to add to pulled pork when reheating? ›

To reheat pulled pork in the oven, preheat the oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Spread your leftover pork into the bottom of a glass or ceramic baking dish, add a splash of leftover barbecue sauce, broth, apple juice, or other flavorful liquid, then cover the pan tightly with a layer of tinfoil.
