Using mayonnaise to slather your (pork) butt

[captainlee]

I don't use binders for meat. For poultry I'll use a little grape seed oil, seems poultry needs a little help for even rub distribution. As Myron has said,"Mustard is for hot dogs.". Do whatever you are comfortable with, either method works.

I tried it on ribs. Didn't notice anything different

I don't put a binder on anymore. Use to but did not see a difference.

I've got to read more carefully. Now these jeans have mayonnaise all over them

I follow the Meathead Method and just wet the meat a little before applying the rub.
It's worked well so far and I'm all about simplicity.

If I’m pressed for time and don’t want to let a rub sit for a few minutes to stick I use a little olive oil or vegetable oil for a very thin layer, otherwise, like many others I don’t use a binder.

I've used Lay's french onion dip to slather butts and ribs before. Gives great bark and yummy onion flavor.
