How to cook Boston Butt pork roast?

Question

Ok I am a newlywed, and my mom never cooked so there is a lot I don't know. Anyway, this is the first time I have ever bought one of these, and I had no idea there was a bone in it. I have it in the crockpot, but does it need to cook longer than a boneless roast? Also is it bad to cook in the crockpot because of the bone? Thanks for your help:)

Answer 1

It will do good in the crockpot - the bone will make the meat more tender. I use my grandmother's recipe & it turns out great every time. Rinse roast, then place in bottom of crockpot. Add baby red potatos, 1 onion quartered, 1 pack baby carrots & 2 cloves garlic. Over that sprinkle 1 pkg Lipton onion soup mix, then add 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 soup can of water, 1 stick of butter and salt & pepper. Cook on low 7 - 8 hours or til done - the meat will fall from the bone when ready. I always serve with fresh coleslaw & homemade cornbread.....Yummy!!

Answer 3

The easiest way is to cook Boston butt pork roast just like a beef roast, with herbs and slivers of garlic stuffed into slits in the meat. I like to use a cooking bag. Here is another easy suggestion...Crock Pot Pork Barbecue with Coca Cola®
3 to 4 pound Pork Roast, Boston Butt or Shoulder
6 oz. Coca Cola at room temperature
Black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt,
Worcestershire sauce, and liquid smoke or your choice
1 to 1.5 cups of Granny's Barbecue Sauce (recipe below)

Trim the excess fat from the roast. Season the bottom moderately with black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and a bit of liquid smoke. Place the roast in the crock pot and pour the Coca Cola in. Season the top moderately and put the lid on. Turn it on low and cook for 12 hours.

Turn the crock pot off. Carefully remove the roast to a large bowl or platter. It will be very hot and falling apart. Dispose of the cooking liquid. After the crock pot cools a bit, wash it, dry it, and return it to its base. After the meat has cooled enough that it can be handled, remove the fat and connective tissue and break the meat into medium to large pieces. Return the meat to the crock pot. Add the barbecue sauce and stir thoroughly. The objective is to moisten and flavor the meat not to overwhelm it. Replace the lid. Turn the crock pot on low and cook for 4 to 6 hours.

Serve the meat either as a main course serving or as an open face sandwich. Have additional sauce available.

put the boston butt in the crockpot, pour enough beer into the crockpot to cover it, add mustard, hot sauce, 2 or 3 quartered onions, about a head of garlic peeled and crushed and some honey. cook it until the meat is falling off the bone tender, shred it with forks and mix it with barbeque sauce.

Answer 5

It isnt bad to cook it in a crockpot because of the bone. The bone makes it taste better with the marrow of the bone. It will take a little longer but not much. I like to sqeeze orange juice on mine and add some orange zest then glaze it with honey. It is sooo good.
