I had a request at a catering job that I am doing on the 18th for a pigs head. The event is for butts and ribs but they also have a small group of people that have requested a pigs head to eat. My supplier can get me just the head but I have never cooked one and I am sure it's just like any other cut of meat. How long do I cook it, what temp do I cook it to, whats the best way or technique to go about cooking it??? Thanks for the help!

Never smoked a pigs head.
I've boiled them in a Cajun Cooker, then scraped the meat off , scraped out the brain, and made a 'European Mount' on a boar that I shot.
(The tusk's made it look fearsome) :heh:

I gave my dogs the meat. (I may have been missing something)
 
Make sure you remove the eyeballs... they kind of POP when they reach a certain temp. (it's not a pretty sight) :-D
 
pigs head is good!!!! here in mexico its a street food its sold in taco carts they put it in a steamer over night with herbs garlic and onion then they just scrape the meat up make it good by choping it up to mix up the fat with the meat and is served on a tortilla with some sauce thats usally not spicy and is tomatoe jalapeño and oregano
