Fall-Apart-Tender Slow-Roast Pork Butt image

Pork butt is a less-expensive cut, but cooking at a very low temperature ensures a tender, juicy roast, and it dissolves fat and connective tissue, This can also be made in a slow cooker set on high for 30 minutes, then turned down to low for the day, oven cooking time will vary depending on the size of your roast -- I have made this in the past, and it is very good! :)

This recipe is not worth the effort. It is not very good.

The cooking time was too long. The pork was overcooked.

The pork was very fatty. I had to trim a lot of it off.
