Answer 1

Here is the complete process.
Puerto Rican Style Pernil
6-10 servings
6¼ hours 15 min prep
5-8 lbs pork shoulder
6-8 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 packet sazon goya (found in most supermarkets in the ethnic aisle)
1/2 teaspoon adobo seasoning (found in most supermarkets in the ethnic aisle)

In a bowl mix garlic, salt and oregano.
With a sharp knife make deep cuts in to the pork only on meat side,and stuff the garlic mixture into the slits.
The more cuts the better the flavor.
Sprinkle the other seasoning the Adobo and the Sazon all over the outside.
Then rub the seasonings in making sure the entire surface is covered.
Roast the Pork in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 4-6 hours uncovered in a pan with a rack.
Roast the pork skin side down for the first 2 hours and then turn skin side up for the remaining time.
Pork should be well done and tender.
Make sure all juices run clear before removing from oven.

Answer 4

wow, i had to educated myself first to see what a pernil is. It's basically a fresh pork roast. The recipes that I looked at all were basically the same.. you season the meat with garlic and spices then roast it. 350 degrees for 3-5 hours depending on the size. I have found with my experience that most pork will dry out, so try to keep it covered to keep in the moisture and then you can uncover it towards the end for the skin to crisp up. I am adding some links for some recipes that looked good to me.. And when dinner is ready invite me.. I'll bring the rice.. :D

Answer 5

pre-heat oven @ 350*
cover it with foil so it comes out juicy & tender.
bake for 4 to 5 hours at 350*
the last 15-20 minutes, take foil out and crank the oven to
425* - 450* so the skin becomes all crunchy and crackling
*** also you can cook it over night at 300* - 325* and beleive me that what will wake you up is the smell of a good pernil.

Answer 6

Cook at 400 for one hr, reduce to 300 for about 4hrs .. do not turn the meat .. when the meat is done you should be able to shred it.
