What is the most tender Pork Roast?
- Pork Loin will be the most tender cut of meat. The area between the shoulder and back legs is the leanest, most tender part of the animal. Since this recipe is slow-roasted, you can use several other pork roast and the results will turn out tender and juicy. The most common cut for making shredded pork is the shoulder.
- The pork shoulder is the entire front leg and shoulder of the pig. In your grocery store, you will usually find this divided into two cuts, the Boston butt (also known as the Boston roast), and the picnic roast
