Baton Rouge Fire Department Pork Roast - comparable roast

Method

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Season all sides of roast very well with Cajun seasoning, garlic salt, salt and pepper.
• Put roast in open pan (fat side up so that it will melt down over roast) with 1/2-inch of water added to pan.
• Allow 30 minutes cooking time for each pound of meat.
• Cook 1 hour, then cover with foil and cook for remainder of allotted time.
• (Keep water level consistent in pan, adding water as needed.)
• After roast is covered with foil and has "roasted" 2 1/2 to 3 hours, check the level of water again and continue to cook one more hour.
• Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before carving.
