I think pork loin at $1.50 which does happen is a better value., but it is a different cut of meat.
Pork Loin has doesn't have good marbling....you have to cook it to medium at most or 145F (USDA minimum if you're safety guidelines oriented) it'll seem dry.

You can cut a thin pork shoulder steak and cook it hot and fast and it's phenomenally good. Do the same with a thin pork loin chop. Cover the meat up with some colorful marinade like Gochujang or mexican chili paste and it's no contest which is going to taste better. It's the visual (fat) that ppl don't like to see...but FAT IS FLAVOUR!!!

A lot of the internal fat will turn into juicy like goodness...it's what makes things like pulled pork or Bo Saam really good. Save some of that fat in your freezer (separate them into individual balls for freezing) and if you have lean pork scraps/trimmings, you can mince it together to make dumpling fillings, sausage etc. Alternatively made some pork drippings for making tacos or for frying carnitas

Deboned it and deskined/defatted it, and cut it into chunks. Marinaded it with hot sauce, lemon juice, ground pineapple, garlic powder, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Let it sit in the fridge for 4 hours, then vac sealed into four large bags for meals.

Skewer it and cook it for an hour on the bbq, and it's delicious.
Would have been nice to know the weight de-boned, de-skinned and de-fatted.

Just threw mine in a big pot and simmered for about 5 hours. Looks like a nice big pot of soup to follow.

People are actually complaining $0.98 / lbs contains bones ?

I'll have to inquire about this next time I buy oxtail - WTF am I paying for the bones that I can't eat ?!?!

Went to RCSS at Dufferin and Steeles, they were all sold out. Got some at the Green Lane and Yonge St location in Newmarket. They had tons! One of the reps there said they are likely going to extend the sale because they have so many.

@DiceMan @gr8dlr and pork experts:

We missed out on the .99/lb with the Pork Shoulder Picnic Roast.

Sobey's has it, starting tomorrow Thursday, at 2.99/lb, (if they get any in, like the 'missing' beef brisket, altho a lot higher than RCSS price.

#1 is fresh better vs cryovac package?

#2 does this go on sale often to .99/lb or in between .99 and 2.99/lb?

Looking to cook low and slow on KJ.

Thanks!
