Chef's Notes
Do not rush the initial dry brine! Letting the pork rest with the salt and sugar draws out surface moisture and seasons the meat deep down to the bone.
Pro Tip
When roasting large cuts of pork, use an accurate digital meat thermometer to ensure absolute perfection before attempting to crisp the crust.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to watch the pork during the final 500ยฐF sugar-crust phase will instantly turn your magnificent roast into a charred charcoal brick of sadness.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I spent six hours waiting for this pork to cook, and yet my family managed to inhale it in six seconds. The math really doesn't add up for the kitchen staff.
The Culinary Science
Low and slow cooking breaks down tough collagen in the pork butt into gelatin, transforming a tough cut into meltingly tender bites.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300ยฐF (150ยฐC) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
