How to Cook a Pork Shoulder/Butt Roast to Perfection
In a 325°F (160°C) oven, it will take between 35 and 40 minutes per pound to reach a center temperature of 160°. So you could check it after 2-1/2 hours, but it may take as long as 3 hours. The reason you really need an instant-read thermometer is that some ovens are inaccurately calibrated, some people let the roast come to room temperature before they start cooking while others put it in the oven cold from the refrigerator, and the USDA wants you to have one (we do too).
Now, if you're open to cooking that shoulder another way, you could follow the advice of Shirley Corriher, author of CookWise (Canada, UK), and Southern Cook Extraordinaire. A Boston Butt, or Boston Shoulder, is a flavorful piece of meat, but tends to be tough. Corriher's method
for Fall-Apart Tender Slow-Roast Pork ensures tenderness.
