About this cut

What it is and how to use it

This bone-in shoulder roast comes from the arm end of the shoulder, with the round arm bone visible in the cut. It has good marbling, strong pork flavor, and plenty of connective tissue that turns tender when cooked slowly. It is a practical, economical roast for family dinners, pulled pork sandwiches, and slow cooker meals.

Cook’s tipRoast or braise covered at a low temperature for several hours until fork-tender. It will be well past the 145°F safe minimum by then.
