Ultra-crispy slow-roasted pork shoulder from Serious Eats by J. Kenji López-Alt

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This is the same recipe as in the Food Lab book. This took all day but was super delicious with insanely crispy skin. I chose not to line the pan with foil as I thought I might make the pan sauce described in the headnote, but after pulling it out of the oven that would have been impossible as all the drippings had totally burnt onto the pan. In the final crisping stage, my oven had trouble staying up to 500 degrees with me opening the door to rotate the pork every 5 mins, and also my oven isn't big enough to fit a half-sheet pan in lengthwise so rotating was extra hard, but it just took a little more time. The end result surprised me a little though because while it was tender enough to pull cleanly off the bone while cutting, it still held its shape and was definitely a roast rather than pulled pork. I served this with the salsa verde from the same book.
