What you need to
know about Pork
- Cut it at home into roasts and freeze in ziplock freezer bags.
- General rule: 1” for children, 2” for adults, so a family with 2 adults and 3 children
would cut the meat 7” wide. - The meat can be used as a roast, cut into pork chops, kabobs, stir-fry, or pulled BBQ
pork. - A good price is less than $2.00/lb
Baby Back Ribs
- Wrap in foil and bake in an oven for 2-3 hours at 300 degrees. Let it cool, then grill,
basting with BBQ sauce.
Pork Tenderloin
- A good price is less than $5/lb. Marinate and grill or bake. After cooking you can
slice it and use it in a salad.
Ham
- Buy a whole ham on sale and have the butcher slice it into a few 1” steaks and ham
pieces. You can bake the ham pieces, use them for soup or slice them to fry for
breakfast.
