It is a million and a half degrees in Portland today so I grilled up a huge hunk of pork. I slow cooked it for about 2 hours and it was super succulent.

What are your experiences with slow cooking meats?

I'm irish and PA dutch, 90% of my meals are slow cooked-
you must have some awesome family reunions!
-
oh yeah!! Yummy, and entertaining
-
-
You must have bought a TON of berries...-
only a pint...a little goes a long way
-

I don't eat pork. I have no idea why. I just don't want to eat it.
It must be all the mental conditioning I heard from others who were religious and didn't eat pork and so I grew up not eating it either. Kinda weird huh?-
I have heard this from a bunch of people...pork is not for everyone
-
I know now that I think about it, I really don't have a logical reason why I don't eat pork and I still will not eat it even though now I know I have no logical reason not to eat it.
-
you should try some bacon sometime
-
-
no bacon sorry not as good as last time you did pork-
I know...I realized halfway through I should have wrapped it in bacon
-
-
As a recovering vegetarian, I eat slow cooked beef stews that are really good.-
don't know why but I am not a huge fan of the beef stew. I know I should be but...
-
-
To me it's only good cooked with lots of sweet vegetables and garlic.
-
mmmm garlic...I also like the soup to be thick and hearty
-
-
It's great with sweet potatoes, er, I mean butternut squash cooked with the beef!
-
No freaking sweet potatoes!!!

Here's a very boring question, so grab a cup of cawfee to keep you awake.....which is the best cut of pork for stove top cooking, like in a saute? I don't want anything with a bone - no "chops"!
-
too bad...your only option for pan searing is the a chop. The best chop, however, is the "Rib Chop."
"They have a relatively high fat content rendering them flavorful and unlikely to dry out during cooking"
The do have a bone, but bones add to the flavor.
What is your hang up with bones?
-
-
I didn't think you can pan cook a chop with a bone for some weird reason. Shows how little I know! I'm going to Whole Paycheck later, and will pick up a rib chop. Do you use olive oil to cook it in?
-
"whole paycheck" HAHAHA!!!
do you have a cast iron skillet or just a regular pan?
-
-
Just a regular pan - but it's a good heavy one. I'll get a cast iron skillet in the next couple of weeks.
-
put one tablespoon of butter in the pan and warm it up over medium-high heat (about a 7). Once the butter melts completely slap down your chop. Also dredge the chop in flour prior to cooking so you get a nice crisp exterior...like this cookingforassholes.blogspot.com/2009/04/super-easy-grilled-chops.html
-
-
Umm.....I can't eat dairy or flour products for health reasons. : (
-
hrmmm ...use a small amount of olive oil and wait for it to start smoking...then your pan is hot enough to slap down that chop. Season with salt and pepper prior to cooking.
would you like suggestions as to condiments?
-
-
Condoms???? Oh, sorry, condiments, sure!
-
gross!
Raspberry Chipotle?
In a medium saucepan combine 1 pint of raspberries (all mushed up), 1c honey, 1/3c sugar, 3tbl red wine vinegar, 4 diced chipotle peppers, and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat and then lightly simmer for an eternity. I think it took me about an hour to get it to the right consistency.
BBQ Sauce?
1 14oz can of stock (beef or veggie), 1/4c rice vinegar (white will work you uncultured swine), 1/4-1/2c Worcestershire, 2 6oz cans tomato paste, 1 15oz can tomato sauce, 1/2c brown sugar, 1/2c maple/pancake syrup, 2tbl Old Bay, 1tbl ancho chili powder, 1tbl paprika, 2tsp cayenne, 1tsp sage, 1 tsp tumeric, and 3 cloves of garlic. Simmer for 1 1/2 hours.

Wow, thanks Cooking Asshole! That sounds delish! I can't eat sugar, so I think it'll still taste okay if I eliminate that? Maybe not quite as fabulous though. : (
-
use honey instead! Can you eat honey?
-
-
Yeah, a little. Good idea! How do I know when it's done so I don't get some weird trichinosis shit? Can you eat pork rare? No, right?
-
no rare pork! A good indicator is when the juices run clear...then you are in the safe zone. It would be hard to sear a chop and have it end up rare though.
-
also do not cook with the condiments on!
-
-
Thanks for the help, CA! Great tip about the juices running clear, too.
-
That looks really. It's been months since I last had something like that. Makes me want some right now. -
Got it, CA. Remove condoms before cooking! Oops, condiments!
-
I'm not above admitting that I once made the mistake of leaving the condom on the chop before cooking, and paid a high price for doing so. Trust me, it's not easy to scrape a melted condom off the bottom of a pan!
-
that would require a lot of "bartender's friend"
