Best Cut for Pulled Pork

Boston pork butt is the classic, go-to cut for pulled pork. It’s forgiving, hard to overcook, and ideal for slow cookers, ovens, or smokers. One roast typically provides multiple meals and freezes well after cooking.

Boston Pork Butt, The Gold Standard for Pulled Pork


The Boston pork butt from Prairie Farmstead is cut from the upper shoulder and is widely considered the best cut of pork for pulled pork.

Richly marbled and deeply flavorful, this roast shines when cooked low and slow.
Despite the name, this cut has nothing to do with the rear of the animal.

Instead, it’s a hardworking muscle with just the right balance of fat and meat — which makes it forgiving, flavorful, and hard to mess up.
  • Cut: Upper shoulder (Boston butt)
  • Best for: pulled pork, carnitas, slow roasts
  • Cooking methods: slow cooker, oven, smoker
  • Flavor: rich, savory, and deeply satisfying
  • Great for leftovers: one roast, multiple meals

Why This Cut Is So Popular with Cooks

  • Forgiving: Long cooking times make it more tender, not less.
  • Versatile: Use for pulled pork, tacos, bowls, sandwiches, or freezer meals.
  • Great value: A practical way to feed a family (and have leftovers).
  • Consistent results: A reliable roast for beginners and seasoned cooks alike.

How to Cook a Boston Pork Butt
