User Comments:

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) before removing it from the oven.
• Let the pork rest for at least 30 minutes before pulling it apart. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meat more tender.
• If your roasting pan or Dutch oven does not have a lid, you can cover it with aluminum foil.
