Is there a easier way to shred pork other than using two forks, I was thinking of a food processor? Any ideas?

Question

I used two forks, and it takes forever. We are planning my sons b-day party, and I was thinking of cooking 2 9lb butts.

Answer 1

I use the utensils God gave me! I shred it by hand because it is just a lot easier than using forks and it also makes the meat shreds a lot nicer! Mixes better with the BBQ sauce when shredded by hand. If you use a food processor, if you process it too long it could become mushy when doing that much meat.

Answer 2

A food processor works PERFECTLY. We just did 5 pork roasts for my son's graduation, I was shredding with forks when my hubby said he was going to try the processor. I was leery, but it worked FANTASTIC!!!!!

Answer 3

If you cooked it right it should pretty much fall apart. If not, forks are the best and most authentic way to get real results for shredded meats.

Answer 4

I do it by hand. It's fun and a lot easier than forks or utensils.

Answer 5

A food processor would give you a pork smoothie, eew. Try putting on a pair of kitchen gloves and using your hands. Best kitchen tool there is and you can't misplace them! :)

Answer 6

I always use my food processor! Works great and takes a lot less time!
