With a super lean cut of meat, you need to cook it for a very long time in order for the meat to break down to then re-absorb the cooking liquid. If you don't plan on eating right away, you can slice the meat thinly and then place it back in the slow cooker for 20-30 minutes to help speed along the process.<br Stephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-26215422047908318632012-11-27T17:33:03.111-08:002012-11-27T17:33:03.111-08:00So I have this in the slow cooker right now and my...So I have this in the slow cooker right now and my husband says it has a fabulous flavor but is super tough. I bought a boneless pork loin roast (though it looked more like what you'd cut pork chops from). Did I use the wrong cut of meat? Would a shoulder cut/boston butt be better? I read someone made a pulled pork with it and there is no way this thing is shredding like that.

I'd suggest making a meat dish on a day you're home to monitor to see how long a particular cut of meat takes to cook through without losing shape in your pot.<br /><br />Once you know that instead of 6 hours, it's really only 4 or so, you can set the pot to turn to warm until you arrive homeStephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-54528757334953657912010-10-20T08:42:11.257-07:002010-10-20T08:42:11.257-07:00Stephanie,

Whenever I cook meat in the crockpot, that meat, whether it's chicken or pork, turns out tender but stringy. The flavor is wonderful but the texture is consistently like pulled pork and the meat falls apart. Does this happen to you? Is there a way to cook a pork roast (or anything else) so thatbay05https://www.blogger.com/profile/07687983548249277194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-63147655196089883962010-05-18T12:22:36.802-07:002010-05-18T12:22:36.802-07:00I just got your cookbook from the libray, and this...I just got your cookbook from the libray, and this recipe is the first one I'm trying, along with the Masshed Potatoes with Sour Cream and Cream Cheese.
