How to cook a 10 pound pork shoulder

Even though a lot of recipes suggest cooking a pork shoulder for 6 hours or more, it’s a common misconception that the longer you cook pork shoulder, the better the result. In reality, a 10 pound pork shoulder can be cooked at a medium-low temperature and for anywhere between 4 to 5 hours. Most recipes will also suggest using a high heat setting and increasing the temperature every hour. However, this is rarely necessary and will burn the meat. The pork shoulder will already be cooked at the end of the cooking time, but it will be very tender. So, there’s no need to increase the temperature at all. Even if you use a higher heat setting, you can keep the temperature in the 400s or 500s and be just fine.

Pork shoulder is a tough cut

Cooking a pork shoulder is a little different from cooking other cuts. This is because the meat has a lot of fat that melts and drips into the pan. This fat will almost always render out into the pan and make your sauce. The good news is that you don’t need to worry about that, because the pork is quite fatty and you’ll have enough fat to create a delicious sauce. Another advantage to cooking a pork shoulder is that the meat has lots of connective tissue, which makes it easy to pull apart and braise. You just need to be a little patient. The longer you cook the meat, the more tender it will be.

Pre-soaking pork

When choosing pork, look for pork that is in the shoulder. This is the shoulder that is closest to the spine, which will make cooking the pork easier. Place the pork in the freezer overnight. Next, remove the pork from the freezer and place in the refrigerator. Cover the pork with water and place the lid on the pan. Let the pork sit in the water in the fridge for at least 8 hours. Remove the pork from the water, place it on a plate and pat dry with a paper towel. Cut the pork into large portions, like a large pizza.
