^ Vin, I know you are asking D, but Pork shoulder is hard to fuck up. You can cook it a lot of different ways, but you can just put it in a crock pot (add some chicken stock if you want for gravy), turn it on and then turn it off when you can't pick it up cuz its so tender. Put it in the oven covered, put it in the oven not covered.

He's probably right. If we didn't fuck it up, then you won't fuck it up.

Last time, we put it in the oven, covered.

We made our own BBQ sauce out of the drippings and a bunch of other stuffs, which may have been even better than the meat itself.

Love some crockpot pork shoulder. Absolutely idiot proof and good as hell. An overnight brining and dry rub will elevate it greatly.

Or you could just invite him over, ya dick!

what a fuggin' asshole

Yeah, but then I'd have to go to Ohio. I'll do lots of things for pork but....

you won't pork an Ohio chick!

Are there 'chicks' in Ohio?

So I'm new to using a crockpot. When you cook a roast or a shoulder in there, do you need to put water in the bottom or anything? I'm afraid of burning the damn thing. but I don't want to boil it or anything either.

When I have the time and feel like cleaning up a bunch of stuff...I put a dry rub of spices on it, then some olive oil it or anything that makes some flour stick to it and sear it. The kitchen will be a mess.

Then put it in with a half can of chicken stock. Barely covers the bottom, then add some as time goes along. Then add a can of Campbells mushroom soup if you want. Its fine with a pork shoulder.
