What’s The Best Meat For Pulled Pork?
For this recipe, you’re best off using a gammon joint or a pork shoulder. A lot of people make pulled pork shoulder however, I tend to use a gammon joint for mine. If you’re feeding more than two people I would suggest getting a big gammon joint, but make sure it fits into your slow cooker first or you won’t be having crock pot pulled pork!

In the UK we call them slow cookers although in the USA they’re called crackpots. There’s not really a difference between the two, they might have an extra function depending on which one you go for and they’ll have different plugs; that’s about it.
Pulled Pork is a true American staple, especially in the southern states, they absolutely love it. Thankfully, it’s cheap to buy and easy to make so it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, you can enjoy BBQ pulled pork all year round.
