Smoked Pork Shoulder

Smoked Pork Shoulder

EverydayCooked

Smoked pork shoulder is a slow-cooked barbecue staple made from the upper front leg of the pig, renowned for its tender, pull-apart texture and smoky bark crust. The extended smoking process at low heat breaks down collagen into gelatin, creating succulent meat, while wood smoke infusion adds complex flavor. This cut contains high protein content but also significant saturated fats, with sodium levels varying based on seasoning rubs and brining methods.
