Cutting pulled pork involves pulling it into chunks, not chopping or slicing. According to one reference, you should "get from the side here and just pull chunks out." It is important not to chop or slice big sections.
Here's a breakdown:
- Pull Chunks: Instead of using a knife to chop or slice, use forks to pull the pork apart into manageable chunks.
- Fat Consideration: The fat, often found in the cap, is part of what makes pulled pork delicious, but you can remove excess fat as you pull the pork if desired.
- Avoid Slicing: Avoid slicing the pork into large sections, as this isn't the desired texture for pulled pork.
