Pork Tri Tip???

Countryhb · 11-01-2007, 01:34 PM

A buddy's wife bought him a "pork tri tip" from Trader Joe's...anyone ever heard of such a thing??

I am guessing it must be tree hugger lingo for a pork loin roast?

Does it look like this ?

Here's a video of how it's processed. It's part of the shoulder

I have been grilling those for a few years now In the markets Ralphs Albertsons and Vons they were called Pork Tri Tips. In the Mexican Mkts they are called pork cushion meat. Don't know where they come from on the pig but they are tasty

Just bought some pork cushion meat. I assume I cook it the same way I'd cook a shoulder?

What was the tool they were using?

Yakfishingfool · 12-29-2007, 01:56 PM

I believe it's called a ring knife...not sure. saw it on how it's made once. Scott

That ring knife is called a Whizard knife. Very common in a packing plant. You wouldn't think it was too cool if you had to use one 9 hrs a day.
