Pork Butts for church dinner - PICS
Options

Posts: 272
I'm starting to cook the first 4 of 8 pork butts for a church dinner in a week and a 1/2. I won't be able to make it so I'm cooking ahead and going to use my foodsaver to keep them until them. I'm going to leave instructions to boil in bags in water prior to serving. Any help on this portion of it would be nice. This will be our first time doing that.[p]The butt in the upper right is just huge. The one in the upper left is tiny. Oh well, I have multiple thermometers.

JM3,
IMHO those fat caps look awfully thick - personally I would score them. Furthermore for more bark you might want to rub the rest of the butt surfaces not just the fat cap which normally will get discarded anyway.

thirdeye,
I read with interest your post on reheating. I didn't think about putting the coke in the bag prior to freezing. Good tip. Clarify one thing though I thought water boiled at 212. Did you mean to bring the meat to 300 and the water around 200? Thanks, Tom

RRP,[p]Thanks. Those 4 are already one but I've got but I'll do that with the next. I usually buy my butts at Wally World but went to the butchers this morning. I don't think I'll go back to Wally World. These looked so good.[p]John

Bajatom,[p]Oops. You are correct. That should have been 200° on the Nesco dial.[p]~thirdeye~

Morning JM3:[p]Those are looking good, John. I'm sure I asked before (and you told me, but I forgot), but which butcher do you get those butts from? Is it the place just off Oakfield in Brandon?[p]Have a GREAT day!

Jay,[p]I got them at them at Apollo Beach Meats in Apollo Beach. They are closer than the Oakfield Market is to my house.[p]John

JM3,
Please Please don't buy meats at wally world. They are filled with salt, water, and aditives. They are no good. [p]Pork Butt Mike
