fat separators
Posted: Mon Oct 02, 2017 10:02 am
pork butts generate more drippings than any other cut
but almost half of the drippings are fat
when we cook a butt for pulled pork they can end up kind of dry after we pull the meat
if you separate the fat from the drippings and pour it back over the pulled meat
it adds back the juicy moisture
the traditional method is to pour off the drippings into a measuring cup
then use a basting syphon to suck the drippings from the bottom as the fat rises to the top
this actually works VERY well
then along came the measuring cups with the spout from the bottom
and the newest versions have a trigger drain in the bottom
