how long do i cook a pork shoulder roast
Pork shoulder is best when it's cooked long and slow. Roast uncovered in the oven for about 1 hour per pound of meat. You may reduce the heat as needed if the pork appears to be cooking too quickly-many recipes call for 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius) rather than 350 (177 C).
1 Place the roast in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature down to 200 degrees F. 2  Roast for about 4 hours or until the meat is falling-apart tender (cooking time will vary depending on the size of the roast). 3  Stir the salt and black pepper into the juice (do not omit the salt!).
