drain my slow cooker?
I'm making pulled pork in the crock pot and the recipe calls for me to "drain" it. This is my first time using a crock pot, but it looks like it's mostly fat, soooo... What should I drain it into? A bowl? I don't want to toss it down the sink if it's mostly fat....

dump the crock into a colander in another bowl. Bowl large enough to hold the liquid from the crock.
Then you can portion this onto the pet food for several days and make dogs and cats very very happy and shiny! They need the fats, we don't!! I stash this in the fridge in a large fruit jar with a lid.

I make pulled pork in my crock pot alot and have never drained the fat off. There really isn't alot anyways once it is all cooked up and the shredded pork gets put back in. Don't even worry about it.

I thought pulled pork needed to be shredded and placed back in the juices. The only suggestion I can make is take your pork out and refigerate your juices. The fat will rise, harden and form a layer on the top and then you can just scoop of the hard fat leaving your yummy mixture behind.

Put in a container and refrigerate. When the fat cools it will rise to the top and harden, just scoop it out and throw it away. The liquid you can save for soup, sauces or just dump down the drain.

Easiest way I always drain my grease out is into a bowl, through a strainer. Then you can toss it out. You definitely don't want to drain the fatty juice down the sink. Hope this helps. :)

That they are good for health, however if you are asking which is better for diet in such a case all vegetables would do well
