🙋🏽‍♂️ Frequently Asked Questions

How long will homemade pork rub keep?

Store it in a jar (or container) with a tight-fitting lid, and it will keep (unrefrigerated) for 2 months.

How do I get pork rub to adhere to the meat?

You can rub a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola, all over the meat and then apply the pork rub. Our favorite method is to smear yellow mustard over the pork and then apply the rub. The mustard does not impart flavor.

Can I use the pork rub on other meats?

Absolutely! While it's specifically designed for pork, this versatile rub works wonderfully on other meats like chicken, beef, and even vegetables, adding a delicious flavor to any dish.
