Slow Cooker Barbecued Pulled Pork

HORRIBLE! The sauce doesn't thicken, even when you use thickening agents. It doesn't taste like BBQ at all. They try to trick readers into thinking it has 5 stars with over 2,000 ratings. BUT, it doesn't... the whole site averages to 5 stars with that many ratings (honestly, I don't believe that either). This recipe has 11 reviews with 1 star which should be 0 if it was an option. DO NOT MAKE, so many better recipes out there.

Horrible!!! Definitely would NOT call this BBQ for sure! And the 'sauce' did NOT thicken after 15 min of BOILING. I don't think the pork was all that tender either. We froze half of it to 'doctor' at some other point in time and rinsed off the remaining shredded pork and fed to our dogs. Next time I will read the reviews before spending all the $$ and time to make something. Seems Food & Wine recipes are more 'miss' than 'hit'.

Sorry, but this does not qualify as BBQ. Like Dave Palladini said, slow smoke the pork butt (dry rubbed with coarse salt, black pepper, granulated garlic and paprika) for 3-4 hours, until at least 170 internal temp, the next morning throw it a slow cooker with just some vinegar, water or beer, and some tomato paste or a thick tomato sauce. Skip the sugar, sugar and more sugar in this recipe unless you really have no taste buds. Pull it apart when done, 4-6 hours, and enjoy.

How is this fast? It takes 6 hours and 45 minutes.

Easy, but not a fan of the sauce.

I would rather use my MasterBuilt to smoke my pork roast to an Internal temperature of 203 to 205, wrap mi9t foil, then a couple towels and put it in a coller for an hour than pull it and add an Eastern Carolina Sauce and some Coleslaw (this is not the coleslaw you put on plate and eat), put this all together on a Hamburg bun, and your talking the best sandwich on the face of the planet.

I seared the pork after rubbing it with salt and pepper with some garlic powder before putting it in the croc pot. I loved it. I also subbed dark corn syrup since i had no molasses on hand. I added more sauce gredents

We made this for the Super Bowl this year - it was super easy and delicious! Got lots of compliments from the crowd. Would have loved it to be a little bit saucier, so I will make more sauce next time.

Yeah this was good but not worth the rating it has. Doubt all these people agreed the meal was 5 stars, smell something fishy going on here...

Trying this today!

hmmmm no reviews?
