Hi guys not been in here up untill a day or so ago. Must say some great looking dishes that ive seen so far, anyway.
I have just got back from the supermarket and i noticed pork half price. Too good to miss out on so bought a nice amount. WIll freeze half as we will never eat it all in one sitting. Just asking some advice on any idea's about cooking it.
Obviously i know how to cook it, but do you suggest covering in foil, leaving open for the full cooking time? What results have you guys found best?

Thank
 
Cook it for 30 minutes or so as high as your oven can do, uncovered, and then turn the oven down to 120 or so and cook it for around 5 hours covered with foil.
 
You can really cook it as long as you want, longer will be better and obviously if you cook it long enough the meat will just pull apart beautifully. 5 hours would be the minimum that I'd do.

Did you get the meat from Tesco? I got a really cheap bit of shoulder from there the other week.
 
Well i was planning on having it for dinner, but cooking for that long would require me gatting up at 6.. Think we will have it for tea instead. No i got it from Morrisons, they had a fridge with all pork half price, got a right good piece and cost £4, so i'll freeze the other half.
 
I tried cooking it how Ahleckz suggested last weekend. 30 Mins high then right down to gas mark 1 for 7 hours. I did a dry Cajun Rub and had pulled pork with home made Wedges. It was sublime if I do say so myself :)

What dry rub recipe did you sue out of interest ?
 
Yep from a jar mi afraid. Now I know it works, then I am going to try my own rub next time. The basis of dry rubbing does really work wonders when slow cooked. Every bit of meat was juicy and had just a hint of Cajun
 
Cheer for that , but doesn't really say how/where people got the Cajun spice rub from?

Can you buy it from supermarkets ? Never seen it , but saying that never looked for it
