“I’ve made pulled pork a few times. This recipe is the best one I ever eaten, other than the one I ate in NC at a reunion. I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Original BBQ sauce. I put 2 teas. dried chopped onion on the top because I forgot fresh onion at the beginning. It” — a cook
“Why use another pan to brown pork shoulder before cooking in crock pot? Using crock pot is easy. I don’t want to use another pan to brown pork. Is browning first necessary? What if I do not brown pork before it goes into crock pot?” — a cook
