How Do You Cook A Pork Shoulder?

Cooking is a skill that all homemakers need to learn, whether it’s for the first time or the 10,000th time. In the same way that teaching your child to speak is a lifelong process, cooking is not a skill you can master overnight. Like most skills, cooking takes time, practice, and patience. The most important thing is to enjoy it and to be able to have fun while doing it.

The 5 step process

Step 1 – Cooking Method: With this method, you’ll prepare the pork in the oven with high heat for at least 2 hours, up to 3. There are various ovens that will work for this purpose, but you’ll want to ensure that the pan you use is oven safe. You can also have your meat thermometer with you to keep track of the temperature.
Step 2 – Cook Time: 2 hours are needed for the pork shoulder to get done. I like to wrap the pork shoulder in tin foil after the first hour and re-heat it. The pork shoulder may not seem like a large amount but it is enough for you to eat several times a week.
Step 3 – Cooking medium: You’ll want to make sure that you use a deep pan that you can throw out after the pork shoulder is done. You can also go ahead and add some water in the pan to ensure that the meat gets cooked evenly.
Step 4 – Place the pan on a stove that is at the highest heat.
Step 5 – Cooking Measure: For the last 1 hour, you’ll want to make sure that the pork shoulder is still dry. You can use a meat thermometer for this.

An Easy Pork Shoulder Recipe

In my experience, the easiest cuts of meat to cook are pork shoulder and pork neck. You don’t need a whole lot of ingredients to cook a pork shoulder, so it’s a quick and easy meal. A pork shoulder is basically a big chunk of meat with some bone in the middle. It’s a cheap cut of meat that’s very easy to cook. You just need to make sure that you have a large amount of liquid. I use chicken stock, water and apple cider vinegar for the majority of my recipes. I mix the apple cider vinegar and the water together until I have a thick paste, then I put the pork shoulder in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours. You don’t need to be too specific on the amount of time, but this is the basic procedure for cooking pork shoulder. After the time is up, you just need to add some spices and seasonings to the meat. I like to mix a little bit of salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, sage, oregano, and rosemary into the mix. I like to cook pork shoulder in the oven at 350 degrees. If you’re using a slow cooker, that’s okay, but I like to make sure that the oven is on. You don’t want to heat the pork shoulder on top of the slow cooker, just because you want to make sure that it gets cooked all the way through.

Once the pork is cleaned and cut, start by marinating it for at least 8 hours in the refrigerator in a ziploc bag with 1/4 cup each of salt, pepper, lemon juice, and water. Remove pork from fridge 1 hour before cooking and let sit on counter to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Rub pork with half of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place pork in roasting pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook in oven for 2 hours. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 cup each of lemon juice, salt, and pepper with 1 cup of water in a bowl. After 2 hours of roasting, brush all over with the liquid brine and continue roasting for another 2 hours. Transfer the pan to the stovetop and bring to a boil. Skim off any fat that has accumulated on the surface of the liquid. Remove from heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Remove pork from pan and place in a large bowl. Pour in the lemon brine liquid and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil and stir to coat. Cover with foil and place in fridge for 8 hours. After 8 hours, cut pork into pieces and use as desired.
