So I have never made one at home. Among American,English and Chinese versions I would like to try the chinese one since most of the ingredients are fairly available.Do I have to marinade it overnight? I am going to roast it in a cooker. I would like to know which cut is the best for pork roast and why?How do I make it with a perfect crackling.I do not want the dark roast just soft, moist, flavorfully juicy and succulent and spicy roast.What precautions should I take to not make it Hard and dry? Please share your Time Tested Secrets and Tips. IP: Logged |

I am a simple country cook and like to roast pork tenderloin with thyme, cracked pepper, lotsa sage and sea salt. I usually do it on the grill but the oven roast is yummy as well. I believe this way, the true taste of the meat comes through with the spices enhancing it instead of covering it.. ------------------ Christian, Jew, Muslim, Shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the Mystery, unique and not to be judged.

Hi rajjiAs long as you intend to slow cook it, you can use any cut, tho the tenderloin is the best, but very pricey! With pork and beef roasts, I use carrots, onions, lots of garlic, salt and pepper, with beef a bay leaf or two, and red new potatos. I also cheat sometimes, and add a packet of onion soup which makes them taste amazing, tho I leave out the salt when I do that! Let us know how it comes out! t~~~ IP: Logged |

Hippi, Im going to try the onion soup mix one and Honey drizzled one and spicy mix one. As juni mentioned I would have to use cooker for cooking and then grill it.I hope it tastes well that way. Im going to use the leg cut..Is it ham? Does it taste good than the shoulder butt? I heard both are tough cuts. Why does the tenderloinm cost more? IP: Logged |

rajjieither the rump will be less tender than the shoulder, just due to the physics of the animal, and I would think the shoulder would have a better taste as well. but if you slow cook either, should be ok. the tenderloin is the backstrap of the animal, doesnt get much work like the rump and the shoulder so it is alot more tender, hence alot more pricey! your spicing sounds wonderful! t~~~
