https://www.seriouseats.com/ultra-crispy-slow-roasted-pork-shoulder-recipe

This recipe elevates a cheap cut of meat into something people can’t get enough of. It only takes a few minutes to prepare but gives you leftovers for days. Try to find a local farm and avoid the factory farmed pig if you can get it near you it really makes a difference in the flavor and is worth the extra money.

Don’t even think of cooking this unless you have a very strong ventilation fan that vents outdoors, and even then expect your kitchen to get full of smoke.

i recently got access to a stove with a convection oven and instead of 500° for 20 minutes rotating every 5 like in the recipe you can do 550° for 15 minutes in convection mode without opening the oven and receive identical results with far less smoke. Still more smoke than is reasonable though i have to take a shower every time i make it. The people love it though there isn’t a better way to make pork shoulder that I have tried.

Pairs really well with macaroni salad.

    I use this method for beef roasts too. Low heat to desired internal temp then blast it before serving for that nice sear on the outside. One thing to limit smokiness is to drain any pan drippings prior to the sear, or just use a new pan.
