How do you cook your butt?

[hrh_disney_queen]

Sorry, I'm in an immature mood today.

I got a Boston butt on sale today and was looking for a new way to cook it. I usually put it in the crock pot all day, and then it sits in about 2 inches of grease. I do like the way it shreds and falls apart when I cook it this way.

How do you do yours?

I would highly recommend you look up "pernil" over on the food network site.

A fantastic and simple dish.


Do the proper sides as well. Arroz con gondules and a plaintain dish of your choice ( I'm fond of aranitas ).

i tend to put my butt square on the fire....no foil, no pan, just flames.

My first thought was of the heated seats in our car. Why is that????

I prefer big butts...really big butts.

Mine's usually in a lot of hot water.

Of course! You HAVE to rub the butt before you cook it.

The bigger the better!


HRH--I just do mine in the oven and on a rack so it's not sitting in the drippings. mmmm--fresh roasted butt!

I slow smoke it over hickory until an internal temperature of 205 degrees. I wrap it in foil and then let it rest in a cooler for a couple of hours then I shred it.

This is what I was thinking. I found a recipe on a site that has a rub.. and says to cook it for about 6 hours. This one is pretty lean looking, so maybe it won't be too fatty..



You have to rub it very slowly for a long time to get it ready..

I don't. I let my wife handle my butt.

Sorry, I've never actually seen the movie--the line just popped in my head and I forgot the fava bean part. lol

I did look that up and it said pork shoulder. When I looked up another recipe, it called for pork shoulder OR Boston butt, so maybe they are interchangeable?

(It's more fun to say "butt" than "shoulder"..teehee..)

Rubbing it is important, but you also need:

A pinch of salt
A kiss of garlic
A squeeze of lemon
And Tobasco to give it a kick.
