Where is Pork Cushion Meat From?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pork cushion is a triangular-shaped piece of meat cut from the anterior side of the pork shoulder, also known as the picnic shoulder. You don’t have to worry about bones with this pork shoulder cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since this pork cut is obtained from a frequently exercised area of the hog, the meat has a lot of connective tissue. So you’ll need to cook it slowly on low heat to break down all the muscle fibers and unlock the delicious taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you’re watchful when preparing boneless pork cushion meat and have an instant-read thermometer<\/a> close by to monitor the internal temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
