Prepare The Pork Loin
- Preheat your oven to 225 degrees.
- In a large roasting pan, rub the dry rub over the pork loin. Optional: trim the fat layer if you wish.
- Place the pork loin uncovered with the fat layer facing up before roasting. Now the pork won't be dry, it will look wet.
- IMPORTANT: This recipe was tested in a GAS OVEN. If you have an electric oven, cook uncovered at 225 for 5 hours and an additional hour covered with a small amount of water on the bottom.
- Insert an oven-safe thermometer into the center or thickest part of the pork loin. Check the temperature throughout cooking, a wireless digital thermometer makes this really easy.
- Once the pork loin has reached 200 degrees, shut off the oven and let the pork loin roast cool for an hour before removing from the oven.
- Cooking Time: 2 ½ hours per pound, or 5 hours for a 2 lb pork loin roast.
- In the roasting pan, shred and pull the Pulled Pork Oven Roasted meat with two forks working in opposite directions. Toss into the rub and drippings.
- Optional: Toss in your favorite BBQ sauce.
