negolien Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Hey All, So I work 5 12's and all holidays. I like cookin for holidays too, but it always falls on non-holidays as I' am always working. I been hearing everyone's doing butts and got jealous. I got a $47 10 lb'er in the freezer Safeway sent me in replacement for my .87 a lb one I was supposed to get a few months ago lol. I was wondering what I could do besides pulled pork with the shoulder. I found carnitas and huevos rancheros are good recipes for pulled pork along with pulled pork tacos. So, gonna do my first one ever starting Thursday morning. I' am using Susie's carnitas recipe. I will link below hope it's ok. I' am also gonna throw some homemade baked beans under it while it cooks. Any thoughts? Gonna be ojn my gravity 560. I might add some apple sauce and apple cider vinegar to braise. 4 cans pintos 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 cup baby rays sweet and spicy bbq sauce 1 yellow onion 2 jalapenos little apple cider vinegar little apple juice 1/3 cup granulated honey Maybe some bacon I mean who doesn't like bacon https://heygrillhey.com/smoked-pork-carnitas/#recipe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoogl Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Sounds like a nice cook, I'd be interested to see pics/how it went. The only thing I would change is the bacon I prefer a loin cut as opposed to belly / loin & back but all will be great in a dish like this. I do like watching some of the stuff on HGH. I've used a couple of their recipes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My food prices are from safeway we get our food delivered. That's 10 oz of good Hemplers center cut thick sliced applewood smoked bacon. Regular oscar mayers is like $5 to $11 a lb. Unless I get the buy one get one free or a deal I don't get bacon anymore. I haven't had a steak in like two years LOL Rib eye is like $20 a lb at safeway. I been surviving on 5 lb bags of pork and chicken from wildforks. Food prices make baby jesus sad Edited May 29, 2023 by negolien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoogl Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I think that is similar prices to us, 10oz is about 280g, most bacon here is similar weight and between £2-3ish. So about the same (not including the exchange rate) for 16oz/1lb/454g of bacon. Though there's more meat on ours as it's not usually belly. My GF like to get Turkey bacon but I've never been a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
