I'm soo with the Better Homes and Gardens Test Kitchen I don't need to
tell you that a crock pot is probably one of the most valuable appliances in
your kitchen
if you want to give your slow cooked meats an incredible layer of flavor
our secrets to success can help first
choose the right kind of meat the beauty of slow cooking
or other slow cooking methods like brazing are suing
is that you can use tough inexpensive cuts have me
here we're using pork shoulder which is also called pork butt
but a pork sirloin roast is good too don't want pork
you can also use beef cuts like brisk at our chuck roast
or even boneless skinless chicken thighs men
before putting the meat in the slow cooker cut into manageable pieces
streaming of
any excess fat you can this not only helps keep the meat from becoming greasy
but it also makes it easier to shred now season
add liquid and cook for several hours
before testing me you'll know it's done when it tears apart
easily shred the chunks using forks then returned to me to the slow cooker
finally here's our secret for that extra layer of flavor
its all about the sauce while the meat is shredded and super tender
add your favorite sauce maybe a spicy barbecue sauce or something with an
Asian twist
say teriyaki or sweet and sour you can use your homemade are favored by a
variety
just added to the crock pot and heat for 30 to 40 minutes so the me can absorb
all of that delicious flavor and that's it a super flavorful way to make your
slow cooked meat dishes
even better and that's a secret worth keeping
from Better Homes and Gardens
