Pulled Pork

Pulled pork is a form of barbecue. It is known as Carnitas in Mexico. It is a method of preparation in which pork, usually shoulder cut or mixed cuts, is cooked using a low-heat, long-cook method. With these extended times at low temperatures, the meat becomes tender enough that its weakened connective tissue allows the meat to be “pulled”, or easily broken into individual pieces. Pulled pork is found around the world in a variety of forms.
