I've been volunteered to cook for a fundraiser Friday. They are expecting between 5 - 600 people. All I gotta do is the meat part. Pulled pork, hamburgers, hotdogs and skewers. This will be my good deed for the year. I hope the weather is pleasant else it won't be much of a fundraiser.

You better recruit some volunteer pork pullers for that many people

 

[bigbull338]

thats gonna be alot of pork butts to cook.

Its really not that much more trouble than cooking just a couple. I'll get one fella to help me near the end but for the most part it will be solo. This way, there won't be so many bosses telling me what I should have done if you know what I mean.

Hook, I cheat on the pulling. I'll use a paint stirrer attached to an electric drill. Works like a charm and you don't have to wait till it cools to "pull it".

Ahhhwwwww. That's some serious cheating there. Heckuva idea though. I'm going to borrow that if I may

One more quick question: how do you avoid eating all the screws when you use your drill the next few times.

 

[Jogeephus]

There galvanized.

Ooops. Its Friday week.

Every week is Friday week.

Cooked 200 lbs of pork butts last Sat for BIL's wedding. We use something similar to the paint stirrer that a buddy made up. That's the only way to pull any quantity of meat.

I guess I'm just a little slow, but how does the paint stirrer pull the pork off?

This is a new one on me, too. But I can see where the stirrer would pull the meat fibers loose as it turned. Great idea.

We use a 5 gallon bucket to put the butt's in. Once in the bucket we pick out the bone and any excess fat. Then take the puller tool and electric drill and drill them for a few seconds. It's a real time saver!

I always use a KitchenAid stand mixer with the paddle attachment to shred things....sounds a little more appetizing than a paint stirrer and drill. :yuck:
