Years ago I made a pork roast exactly the same way on a hunting trip....even looks like the same crockpot. So easy and stupid good!

Thank you, Baked Foods. This is exactly the simple recipe that I was looking for. I might try it with my pork loin since they were out of the butt roast.

Pork loin will not turn out as tender. I think the best way to cook those either to roast in the oven or grill. And they are wonderful wrapped in bacon! Check out our bacon wrapped tenderloin video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/a52biGOenLx0rs0 Thanks for watching!

@@bakesfoods I can't use my oven until I get an electrician. Would it help to keep the pork loin tender in some broth while it cooks in the crockpot?

We’ve been using lawreys for many yrs. Like this, or in beans on chicken, whatever. In the past few I’ve also started using Everglades seasoning. It’s also excellent on most anything. I’ll even use it on a turkey or pork sandwich instead of salt and pepper.

[@johnmurphy8733]

Thanks for useful recipe. After cooking, can it be reheated in crockpot and eaten as required over a few days.? Could beef be cooked similarly (without water).I live alone so I could not eat it all in one day.Thanks again.

[@bakesfoods]

No problem! I typically will eat this for a few days and make different dishes out of it. I Recommend letting it cool and refrigerate, or putting in a sealed container. I have left it out plenty and just reheated it, but they DO say a slow cooker doesn't warm it up quick enough to effectively kill bacteria. 😅 Great question. You can do the same with certain cuts of beef, like the brisket! Here is a video we did on brisket slow cooker. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqmlqZSFq7p_ns0 But many cuts of beef will be lean and may require some liquid. Just pay attention to fat content! Thanks for watching!

[@floralscentkim1380]

My pork shoulders always seem to come out dry in the crock pot and I typically cook for 8 hours and they are usually 3.5 lbs or so. Am I maybe not cooking it long enough? I will try this technique and timing but just wondered what others thought. thanks!

[@bakesfoods]

I highly recommend that you use "Boston Butt" Pork Shoulders. Other cuts can be a lot less forgiving.

[@Godovgrind]

👍👍👍

[@samuelbrainsample]

You can do whatever you want with a pork butt as long as you shred it up after it's done, put it between two quality pieces of bread, put some hot sauce or hot BBQ sauce on it, throw some creamy/sweet coleslaw on top, then eat it up.

[@user-fx3cj8ni2e]

is a slow cooker the same as a crockpot? just acquired a slow cooker...seems more complex to use, I loved my crock pot.

Have you tried to fry it first for a few minutes to brown it then put it on the crockpot with slices potatoes and carrots? ( half cup of water )

[@bakesfoods]

I have seared it first before. Potatoes and Carrots are a great addition to the pot. Sweet potato is a very underrated ingredient. I think it goes very well in the place of potatoes or carrots!

That looks so nice I'd take the meat out the crock pot and put the meat juices in a pan and make gravy with the juices

[@juliosalas1805]

Does it matter how much it weighs or is it always 8 hrs. I have a 2 and a half pounder

[@bakesfoods]

8 hours is a good rule of thumb. Larger roasts maybe take a while longer, but 2.5lb should be tender after the 8 hour mark. Some crock pots vary in temperature, so you will want to test it for yourself with a fork. Good luck!

[@oldmanfred8676]

Dayum’!

[@sampsqwantch4612]

is that all oil from the meat its cooking in? or did you add water?

[@bakesfoods]

It's all rendered fat and juices from the Roast

[@randythornton5904]

Do you add any water at all to the Crock-Pot for Boston butt?

[@bakesfoods]

Do not add water. If you are using a Boston Butt, there is more than enough juice and fat that will render down and keep it super tender! If you add onions, it will also help to keep it moist.

Can you cook it in broth or stock?

[@bakesfoods]

You certainly can. I would recommend not adding too much because the roast will release a lot of juices. If you separate the juice from the meat once it is cooked, you can make an amazing gravy by simmering the juice on the stove top and sprinkling some flour or corn starch.

3 settings hi? Med? Or low?

[@bakesfoods]

Our crockpot has High, Low and Warm. I always slow cook on Low. In your case, it might be good to try medium as low may be your keep warm setting. But, I am not sure. Experiment with it and see what works best for you.

[@gretchendiaz5040]

Do you put water or oil in the crock pot?

[@bakesfoods]

You don't need to add any liquid, the fat and juices will render down. You can add liquid if you want to add a flavor, such as broth or gravy. But you will have a lot of liquid in the pot at the end. Experimenting is the best part of cooking 😊👍

[@dave_in_florida]

Can I bake in oven same way?

You sure could! a couple tea spoons would give it a nice smokey flavor!

[@mrscurtis0801]

Do you remove the liquid before shredding?

[@bakesfoods]

You may want to scoop some of the liquid out as it is pure rendered fat. I like to leave some for the flavor. It also helps to keep it tender and moist.

[@trudygreer2491]

You wouldn't want to shred it in the crockpot and risk scratching the crock.. then you can ladle out some of the liquid and sprinkle it onto the meat!

@@bakesfoods True, too! I like to get the meat out of the crock so it stops cooking.. plus, I think it's a little less messy to take the meat out of the fat, than the other way 'round.
