Cushion Pork

Former Member

Has anyone heard of a pork cut called cushion meat? I recently spoke to a resturant owner who told me he switched from pork shoulder to cushion meat. He says it comes in pieces around 2lbs. and is marbled with fat but does not have the heavy deposits of fat. He told me it is much faster to pull as after it is done he cuts it once and hits it with the side of a clever and its ready to serve.

Cushion is a picnic that has been trimmed of skin and fat layer, no bone. Easy to fine but not much good for sausage making, have not tried for pulled.

When the cholder comes out of the cookshack, the bone falls out and I use the edge of the tongs and put a little pressure on the meat and it breaks apart no pulling with forks needed. I wouldn't see any need for a different cut of meat.

I do like the boston butts better though
