This is a follow to my earlier post about buying/cooking beef.

Again I want to thank Jeff from the Layton, Reams for providing me with great information.

Here are some tips on what to except when you buy pork:

Boneless pork loin chops, pork rib chops, center cut loin chops, sirloin end chops and boneless sirloin chops will all be nice and tender.

Boneless ribs, country style ribs and Slab ribs are overlooked for great meals. All work well in a crock pot, slab ribs on the grill will be very tender and have a wonderful flavor, just remember to cook low and slow.

Pork roasts;
Boston butt roast is a fatty roast works well in the oven, crock pot or a smoker. Boneless loin and crown rib roast are all ways a great meal, cook in the oven at a lower temp for best results. Bone in and boneless sirloin roast are very good oven roast.

Ground pork is all ways a great item to use in place of ground beef. Another one to use is ground Chicken this has a nice buttery flavor and makes wonderful tacos.

The $2/2 Nabisco coupon has just reset.  Use this coupon at  the Mega Event sale at Smith's and Kroger affilites this week.  Final price should be about .99 when purchased within a group of 10 participating items! (LINKS: Utah Smiths Idaho Smith's Arizona Fry's Colorado King Soopers)

Ever wondered what the difference is in your cuts of beef?

I want to thank Jeff the meat department manager at the the Layton, Utah Ream's grocery store for providing great information.

Middle meats like Top sirloin, T-bone, bone in rib steak, Tenderloin, Tri-tip, New York, ribeye will be your most tender cuts.

Steaks such as Petite sirloin are a good low cost steak, good flavor not overly tough.

Steaks such as Eye of round, bottom round and tip steaks will be tougher.

Flank and skirt steaks are great when grilled, skirt makes wonderful fajita meat.

Cross rib roast and chuck roast are best for pot roast application, remember that a bone in chuck will have more flavor and that a cross rib if the bone was still in would be a round bone roast.

Rump roast, eye round roast, sirloin tip roast petite sirloin roast are all oven roast.

All roasts will come out very nice in a crock pot.

Ground beef is pretty straight forward, just remember that the higher the number the less fat that is in the ground beef.

Here is a great website for different ways to cook.

Coming soon I will post information on cuts of pork.
