Slow-Cooked Pork ShoulderCopied from the main forum:
"Pork shoulder is just a roast cut from a shoulder of pork. If you've ever had authentic Mexican food, it's what they make 'carnitas' from. It's very very highly marbled and can be tough if you cook it with a dry heat (the way you would a pork loin). I actually just put one on this morning before I left work - it was so easy it's ridiculous.
I just plopped the whole roast in my crock pot, sprinkled some spices over top (I used garlic powder, ancho chili powder and a bit of allspice for a kind of Jamaican flair, but you could use anything, even just salt and pepper) and then poured 1 cup of water in with it. Then I covered it with the lid and put it on low. Will take about 8 to 10 hours and what you get is that super-tender, fall-apart pulled pork texture. It is so good. I will eat this thing for days. It's great by itself, but you could shred up the meat with a fork, mix in a bit of hot sauce and serve with fried eggs (like huevos rancheros).
Y.U.M."
