I just got ...EMERGENCY!!! I hope you see this Chef!<br />I just got back from the store and HAD all the ingredients to make this tomorrow. I say "had" because, of course, the apple cider vinegar I bought came in a glass bottle and somehow it decided it just had to jump off my kitchen counter when I got home :( :( I won't be able to go back for more before I make this, the meat is thawed and ready for AM slow-cookering. Is there another vinegar that will work without messing up the flavor profile too much?? I have the boring regular white, Balsamic, rice, and pomegranate red wine types of vinegars on hand--I also have some lemons I just bought if that would work as a sub?? Or would I be better off leaving that ingredient out? HELP!!! I don't want to ruin my huge chunk of meat!!<br />Thanks much!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08132178912597355017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-25708298382570417222012-07-13T10:47:30.072-04:002012-07-13T10:47:30.072-04:00Made this last night and ohhh so good!

Still, after almost 9 hours, my 7.6 pound roast was bloody when pierced. I made alternate plans for dinner that night and put the roast and braising liquid separately on ice. Two days later, I skimmed the congealed fat off the braising liquid and finished the roast in a dutch oven on the stove, slowly for about 2.5 hours. It was succulent, tender and delicious with the reduction sauce. Thank you again, Chef John.<br />By the way, I think I need rehab. I'm addicted to this site. In the last week, I've made, in addition to the pork roast, your roasted chicken soup (twice), the ham and potato soup, banana bread (twice), french toast and I may attempt the pierogi tomorrow.axcel14222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-50346677435684721312012-04-07T22:46:46.888-04:002012-04-07T22:46:46.888-04:00And thanks!!And thanks!!Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-82330303288768654352012-04-07T22:46:38.114-04:002012-04-07T22:46:38.114-04:00If it's 12 pounds its a loin not a tenderloin,...If it's 12 pounds its a loin not a tenderloin, but both are MUCH leaner than shoulder and personally not recommended for the slow cooker.

Now for my question...I am planning on making this braised pork recipe for our Easter dinner. I was not able to find a boneless pork shoulder and settled on a 12lb. Pork (tenderloin) roast....should I adjust the cooking times for the smaller size of the meat? And can I still braise the pork before setting it into the slow cooker? My plan is to split the roast in half and cook 2 separate 6 pounders in 2 slow cookers. Thanks again for all the great recipes and videos<br />AJAJ Angiulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03038097183159054498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-75123646283980641432012-04-07T09:54:58.905-04:002012-04-07T09:54:58.905-04:00The roast is in the pot!

My roast, however, is 7.6 pounds and is not boneless. Might you estimate how much longer it will take to cook? I'll know when it's done, but I'd rather not serve dinner at midnight.

First, I...This dish just didn't go well for me. First, I got home from the supermarket only to discover I accidentally bought "Apple Juice Drink" which is mostly water. Determined to make this pork, I rolled with the punch.<br /><br />Then I erred on the side of "a little too long" in the slow cooker but wound up with pulled pork. Womp Womp.<br /><br />However, unlike the actual pulled pork video on this site, the pork I had this time was horribly fatty, since the fats didn't drip off like they did when I slow cooked the shoulder for 12 hours without any liquid. I wound up having to pull the big chunks of fat out with my fingers, which was hardly a pleasant task.Rob Pitingolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273110931175509169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-43534609492920650712012-02-17T00:50:41.529-05:002012-02-17T00:50:41.529-05:00probably!probably!Chef Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15030125427840815038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-43393118722945779372012-02-17T00:46:38.629-05:002012-02-17T00:46:38.629-05:00Hi Checf John: thank you for the recipe.

I had mashed tators with it and I attempted German sweet and sour cabbage which failed. It had apple and vinegar in it also so I thought it would go. It was gross but the pork was delicious. I'm thinking next time I make this I'll have scalloped potatoes with it. I'll have to think more on the vegetable dish. Thanks Chef!
