At Drovers Meats in Coffs Harbour, shoppers frequently comment on the reliability of the pork selection, whether they are picking up a simple midweek cut or planning a larger weekend roast. Having pork that cooks evenly, stays tender and carries rich, natural flavour makes meal planning a whole lot easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I get really crispy pork crackling?

    Crispy crackling comes down to dry skin, proper scoring and high heat at the right time. Pat the skin completely dry, then score it lightly and season with salt. Start your cook with a blast of high heat to puff up the rind, then reduce the temperature to finish the meat slowly. Allowing the roast to dry uncovered in the fridge overnight can also improve the result. Cooking times will vary, but the skin should start blistering within the first half hour.

  • Is pork safe to eat when slightly pink?

    Modern pork is much leaner and safer than it used to be, so a slight blush of pink is normal and safe as long as the internal temperature reaches at least 63 degrees Celsius. Overcooking pork often results in dryness, especially in lean cuts such as loin or fillet. Using a meat thermometer removes the guesswork and helps you achieve tender, juicy pork without compromising safety.

  • What is the best cut of pork for slow cooking?

    Pork shoulder is the go-to choice for slow cooking because it has enough fat and connective tissue to become soft, rich and pull-apart tender over time. Cuts like pork neck or scotch can also work beautifully for curries, stews and braised dishes. These cuts soak up flavour well and hold their shape long enough to create a hearty, satisfying dish.

Cuts for Every Kind of Cook

Pork is one of the most versatile meats, which is why so many people use it for everything from quick dinners to special occasions. Pork belly and rolled roasts are favourites for achieving crispy crackling. Shoulder cuts are fantastic for slow cooking, turning tender and flavour-packed after a few hours. Chops and cutlets grill beautifully, and diced pork suits stir fries, casseroles and Asian inspired dishes. Pork mince is another flexible staple for rissoles, meatballs and easy weeknight meals. And if you like to mix up your protein choices, pork pairs well with chicken for family-friendly meal planning.


With so many cuts available, it is easy to find something that suits your recipe, cooking method and budget. Explore the full selection and choose the pork that works best for your kitchen.
