This week I used my crock pot for the first time this season and also did a pork butt! I cooked the pork on low for 8 hours covered in rootbeer and then made the best pulled pork sandwiches ever! Looking forward to the chicken slowcooker recipe.

I’ve got to agree about the garlic, but that may be because it’s a default seasoning for me. And about chicken legs: stay strong! You can do it! Think of the deliciousness… and so on.

Yeah, in retrospect I think a few cloves of garlic would have made a huge difference. This was just all too sweet–pork is pretty sweet, plus cooked onions and apples… Dijon’s a great idea.

Hah, this is kind of funny, because I made a slow cooker pork roast yesterday and thought “this recipe is like something Kate would make!” (Apples -quartered, sliced garlic, 2cups cider, pork roast smothered in dijon mustard.) And the leftovers I shredded and added some leftover bbq sauce to, and Dave is eating pulled pork sandwiches for lunch with it. I feel validated now.

All useful tips! I thought of you as I pulled the pork; you are my own Queen of Carnitas.

“WF was totally out of everything pork” is one of the saddest things I’ve ever read. Gah.

Having done this several times with varying results, I can offer the following to combat blandness: SALT SALT SALT and cracked pepper, more than you think you need. I know it’s healthier to trim off the fat but leave on as much as you can stomach, it really does make a difference. Try cooking in chicken broth instead. Once I got really weird results and ended up spreading the pulled pork on a baking sheet with garlic, chile and cinnamon (think I emailed you about this) and putting it in the oven until it crisped up. THAT was good.
That’s all I got.
Looks YUM! I was in the mood to try this the other day again and WF was totally out of everything pork? It was like a part of me died that day.
