Pork

Pork is one of those proteins that just refuses to be boring. It can go low and slow for hours until it’s falling apart, or hit a screaming hot pan and be done in ten minutes. Sweet, savory, smoky — it plays well with pretty much everything.

The thing most people get wrong with pork is the temperature. Cook it too long and you’ve got sawdust. Pull it at the right moment and it’s one of the juiciest things you’ll ever put on the table.

Everything here is built around getting that right. From a Sunday pulled pork that makes the whole neighborhood jealous, to weeknight chops that are on the table before anyone starts complaining they’re hungry.
