Pork Butt is part of the shoulder. Costco normally sales "boneless" butts labeled as Pork Shoulder, Boneless.
The lack of skin indicates to me that it's the butt section but, it's hard to tell if it is indeed boneless. Also, butt sections are more rectangular whereas the picnic is more conical. Again, this is bone-in.wdroller said:Finney said:Pork Butt is part of the shoulder. Costco normally sales "boneless" butts labeled as Pork Shoulder, Boneless.
So, am I buying the butt section of the pork shoulder or am I buying the shank portion? The heavy skin normally found on the shank is not present, and that leads me to believe that it is the butt section. Just checking to be sure.

I can't understand all the posts after this one. ??? 8-[Finney said:Pork Butt is part of the shoulder. Costco normally sales "boneless" butts labeled as Pork Shoulder, Boneless.
