Update!
I brined the 10.37lb Pork Crown Roast for 12 hours, with the recipe above from Jimmy J,
then cooked it at 225° - 245° (mostly in the 225° range), using apple chunks.
At 145° IT, (3.5 hrs cooking time) I removed it, covered it with a foil tent for 30 mins,
then dribbled cranberry compote on it and served it. It looked pretty good.
Here's a before photo: (the red is the cranberry compote)
And an after dinner photo:
Everybody loved it, but I have some questions that I hope someone can explain to me,
because the meat did not come out like I like it...
The roast had a nice presentation. The meat was a bit pink, which I like... but it
was hard to cut, which I don't like. It didn't feel (in the mouth) particularly tough, but
it was 'hard' to cut with a table knife - like it was really tough - which distracted from the
presentation, etc.
I'd like to learn how to cook this cut, so it not only looks great, but tastes and feels great.
Any ideas why it came out tough and what I could do next time so the meat cuts as well
as it looks and tastes? BTW, it did not fall off the bone, like ribs do, if that means anything...
