if it is a properly cured pork shoulder you only need to heat long enough to reach serving temperature (or not at all if you, for instance, slice for cold Sandwiches)
While hams labeled "smoked" are often ok without additional cooking time you need to 1st be sure it is a fully cooked piece of meat. If not, then be sure to cook to a proper internal temprature (165F I believe is considered sufficient) measured at the center of the meat as surface temp can be significantly higher than the center of a thick cut. I like my meat well done so I make sure all "blood color" is gone also.
In the USA, most fully cooked meats are labeled as such quite prominently since "fully cooked" indicates a convenience, the words will easily add a buck or two per pound to the price. If you are not sure, why take a chance?
after you know your meat is safe to eat, be sure you keep it that way. Watch out you do not cross contaminate it with it's own packaging or any other uncooked foods. and remember "Hot Foods HOT - Cold Foods COLD"
limit the time that ANY food it left within the 40F - 140F range to just long enough to serve the food
(short answer: Until it is fully cooked - base on temp not time)
cook it on 325-350 for about and hour and a half
It depends on the weight to know the time to cook it. A bout 20 minutes a pound.
20 minutes per pound in weight and add 20 minutes to the total pound weight
I use the rule of 11 min per lb, it seems to work best for me. Jim
You cook a pork roast with the string on so it won't fall apart. hope this helps :D
crock pot.
no
About 6 hours its 10lbs per hour take an extra hour to be sure
Why would you "cook" a pork roast in the microwave. Pork roast are a tough meat and it requires low temp at about 10 hours like in a crock pot.
Cook at 350 degrees for about 3 hours.
A 6lb boneless pork loin roast should cook in a crock pot on high for 3-4 hours. A pork loin roast in the oven should cook for about 2 hours on 350 degrees.
about 45 min
