I know Ebay is good but they can’t be THAT good!

For things like pork loin you can always look up how much a serving is and then look up how many grams of fat a serving has. You are relying on the labelling but as the USDA manages that it is pretty accurate.

A fat analyzer can be had for a somewhere in the neighborhood of $800.

I’ve done some research and have some ideas…the Hobart F-101 comes up often.

So, make sure it has a fat cap and make sure your fat cap is actually a fat cap and that it is not skin! We have seen more and more pork butts in our local grocery store that have had skin left on with a very thin fat cap underneath it.
