Browning a roast helps it to seal in the juices during the cooking process. It is recommended whether you use an oven or a slow cooker.
Cook the pork roast in the oven on 325 degrees Fahrenheit (163 degrees Celsius). Cooking time will be 35 minutes per lb. (0. 45kg) of meat. A pork roast with the bone in will cook faster than a boneless roast. It will result in a crispier surface texture with less moisture. This is an ideal method if you want to make gravy. Cook the pork roast in a slow cooker, for the most tender roast. Place the brown roast in the slow cooker for approximately 6 hours on low. If your roast is extremely large, you may want to cut it into a few pieces. Always reduce the amount of liquid you add to the slow cooker, unless the recipe is intended for crock pot use. Cook the pork roast in a Dutch oven on your stove top. You will want to bring all the ingredients, including the added liquid, to a boil. Then, turn down the temperature and cook covered on low for 2. 5 to 3 hours.
If you are using a slow cooker, use 1/2 cup (118ml) of beef broth, and 1/2 cup (118ml) of apple juice. The moisture stays in the crock pot while it cooks, and too much moisture can make the roast soupy.
If you are using a slow cooker, use half of the spices that are called for in the recipe. The long cooking time increases the intensity of the flavor.
