Merrill steps up to the plate and shows Amanda (and us) how to get a pork butt under control and ensure it roasts evenly. Watch the video below once and you'll find you can truss in your sleep. (And, check out Amanda's twine dispenser -- nifty, no?)
This week's video was shot and edited by our buddy Drew Lavyne, the founder/director of Six Minute Stories and the producer of the super helpful Teach Me Sushi iPhone app -- and the new Teach Me Sushi Expert app (glimpses of both below).

Indeed, and Merrill does a very important thing here without mentioning it; she keeps that center seam straight running the length of the roast.
I truss everything, that should be trussed, that is. It definitely helps things cook more evenly.
I think you get a gold star too, I've never seen a slipper trussed so well! Thanks so much for the refresher course on roast trussing. That was one of the techniques that I learned at LCB, but promptly forgot after graduation. - S
Thanks, Merrill!
I'll have to watch this a few times to get the technique - but you do it so well!
