What is the difference between pork tender، and a pork ، roast? What about a pork s،ulder roast?

Pork Tender، is usually about 2-3 inches in diameter and is longer and more slender than a ، roast.

Pork Loin Roast is a larger cut of meat that runs along the spine of a pig and continues down the pig’s leg. Like a tender،, it is also quite lean. Pork ، roast is typically about 5-6 inches in diameter and looks more like a roast. In the grocery store, a pork ، roast is often referred to as top ، roast.

Pork S،ulder Roast comes from the s،ulder of a pig. It generally has more ، and is great for slow roasting. We use this cut of meat when we want to make carnitas (like our Instant Pot Carnitas) or if we want a juicy piece of meat that is fall apart once cooked.

Both pork tender، AND pork ، roast are both extremely leans cut of pork and taste very similar. A pork s،ulder is a ،tier cut of meat and will break down when slow-roasted.
