Boof Bonser: Jan 26, 2015; nvj is touched by your generosity!

I got my first ever crock pot recipe from goons about 10 years ago and still use it now. Take a pork shoulder and pack it densely in a shell of brown sugar. Dump worchestershire (sp.?) sauce over the top of it until it pools up about 1/8" deep in the bottom of the crock. Throw in 2-3 sliced jalapenos. Cook on low for a really long time. It forks up into the absolute best pulled pork in the world.

I just disagree about the 'having other poo poo going on' being an excuse bit. you make time for what you think is worth spending time on.

I run two businesses, work 10 hour days on average, my wife does the same hour wise, and we still devote 2 hours to connect and cook dinner at least 3-4 nights a week.

we don't have kids, but if we did, I'm 78% confident what would give would be the work part - not the cooking part.

anyways, I'm not making GBS threads on it in terms of 'crock pot vs hungry man' - but just saying there are ways to make good non-crockpot food with very very little prep time. I just think using pots and pans as opposed to crock pots differs very little in terms of time spent cooking, and the former skews your chances of actually making something tasty in a very positive direction.

still, again, crock pots are fine. they make food. if that's what works for you, use a crock pot. no judgement. I should probably use one myself.

Did you mean to imply that 10 hours was a lot?

Is the whole sugar and pork shoulder thing really that good? I can't get over those recipes that say coke or dr. pepper when it comes to a ham, so putting sugar on meat just doesn't compute to me. I can't get over my hangup that sweet and savoury don't belong together.

I was skeptical when I first read the recipe on here way back when, but honestly it is pretty delicious. I like to dice up some cabbage with red onion to throw on top just to give it a little crunch and make sandwiches on warm rolls.

yeah, kinda like you implied this poo poo thread about ramen had content, or that "packing a pork shoulder densely in a shell of brown sugar and throwing it in a crockpot" constitutes "the absolute best pulled pork in the world."

but keep on postin' forums poster "boof bonser", keep on postin'

I'm definitely not a great cook man, but next time you want to make an "I work crazy hours and I have time to spend two hours preparing meals" you should probably at least lie and claim that you work more than 50 hours a week, which is basically normal-to-low for any white collar profession.

Lol if dude spends 50 hours a week manning a hot dog on a stick I guess I see where the bitterness comes from.
