Choose the one that fits your mood!
Cooking Bag Method:
Rinse meat and pat dry. If you get a pork butt there is a place on the side where you can slice it open, I do that so I can season it inside and put some brown sugar in there. Then place it in the floured cooking bag (which is in a roasting type pan, deep enough in case the bag should leak, there will be lots of juice) Then I apply garlic powder and onion powder, salt and pepper to the outside and pack brown sugar on the top and make 5 slits on top of bag. Preheat oven to 350º and cook for 2 1/2 hours. If it's a huge roast you may want to leave it in longer. Test it with a fork...it should feel real soft and tender and the fork comes out easily.
Roasting Pan Method:
Follow same directions as above to season pork, but don't apply brown sugar on "top" of roast...only inside.
Place roast in pan and season. Preheat oven to 425ºº cook roast at that temp for 1/2 hour to seal. The lower the temp to 275º and let cook long and slow for 5 hours or until very tender and fork slides in and out easily.
You can apply BBQ Sauce in the last 30 minutes if desired.
Outdoor BBQ Method:
You can also do this on a BBQ grill (gas or charcoal) over "indirect heat", "cover down" on grill...long and low 275º App 6 hours. You can add wood for smoke etc and a pan of water for moisture. If you use charcoal it's a bit tricky, because you have to maintain the 275º temp and add charcoals throughout the cooking process so it will cook slowly. A real art down South!~ |
