How long in the crockpot?

Hello - I checked the tags - only found one possible answer to my question but I'm not sure if that's what I wanted to know because it didn't specify how many lbs the pork shoulder was

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I always slow cook it with broth (for at least 8 hours, more if possible) and then mix it with bbq sauce after it's shredded.

I use white wine, but i agree with adding the sauce later. Otherwise, i have burned BBQ sauce lining my crock which is a headache to clean up.

Yep, me too.

How much broth would you add? Chicken or beef?

[bubblytoes28]

I use a small can (I'm not sure, maybe 10oz?), either chicken or beef. I've even used turkey broth in a pinch and it was fine.

After cooking, do you just discard the liquid that's left in the crockpot?

[bubblytoes28]

Yup! or feed it to my dogs :)

If you have leftovers, it's good to use the cooking liquid and/or fat to pour over them; seals themeat from air and keeps it moister, fresher/prevents freezerburn, plus it makes reheating easier. The liquid also makes excellent stock for soups and sauces.
