How to cook pork shoulder?
Finish the cooking process at home by roasting the shoulder at 220°C in 3cm of water for 45-60 minutes. The shoulder will be finished when the crackling is golden, blistered and crisp (please note cooking times can vary oven to oven). Alternatively, we also offer the uncooked pork shoulder to complete the entire cooking process from scratch.
Roast pork shoulder cooking times
With our slow roasted shoulder, the hard work is done for you. The final stage (crisping up the crackling) needs a simple technique to complete at home. For those cooking a shoulder from scratch, the general rule is to roast at 240C fan-forced until the skin crackles, before turning the oven down to 160C fan-forced and cooking for 20 minutes per kilogram.
Pork Shoulder Recipes
Roast pork shoulder is a versatile cut that is a wonderful centrepiece for the table. Serve it with roast seasonal vegetables, apple sauce, gravy and plenty of mustard for a traditional roast dinner. It is also delicious in soft, pillowy baos as demonstrated in our recipe for roast pork shoulder, pickled cabbage, crackling and gochujang. There are many delicious sandwiches that can be created with any leftover roast pork too. One we love is made with slices of crusty Baker Bleu bread slathered with mayonnaise, our mustard, some cheddar cheese, pickled fennel and roast pork. It’s delicious enjoyed toasted with a cold beer in hand.
