Weighing is more consistent than spoon measures because grind and density vary. Keep seasoned raw meat refrigerated, reduce the rub on pre-salted meat, and account for salty sauces. For vegetables and everyday cooking, begin with 1 teaspoon per pound and adjust after tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse indirect heat for sweet rubs and add sugary glazes late. These are starting amounts; your meat, cooking method and taste determine the final seasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25rem;line-height:1.35;margin:1.4em 0 0.5em;\"\u003eKitchen recipe: pulled pork\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a 4 lb pork shoulder, start with 32 g Memphis Bark Builder Dry Rub. Pat dry, season evenly and refrigerate for 2-12 hours if time allows. Cook with indirect heat at 250-275°F until the bark is set, then cover or wrap with a small splash of water. Continue until a probe slides in easily, commonly around 195-205°F. Plan roughly 6-9 hours, but judge tenderness rather than the clock. Rest covered for 30-60 minutes, shred and mix with defatted cooking juices. Add cider vinegar a teaspoon at a time after tasting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.25rem;line-height:1.35;margin:1.4em 0 0.5em;\"\u003eIngredients \u0026amp; allergens\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContains mustard.
