The Internet suggests as long as 3 hours at Gas Mark 4 for a 2KG Pork Shoulder joint of that meat . I have a 800g Pork Shoulder and so for my First attempt I will roast my 800g Pork Shoulder Joint for 1 hour and 30 minutes at Gas Mark 4 . Have added 30 minutes of resting the cooked Pork as a part of the cooking time . The Pork Shoulder Joint resting with Kitchen Foil over the top

Steps

1

Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 9.
Water wash the stringed meat and Pork fat - pat dry with Kitchen Roll, particularly the Pork fat and rind and then make deep cuts into rind and Pork Fat (diamond shaped cuts if you can) - smear the Pork Shoulder joint with clean fresh Vegetable Oil and then add salt over the top
2

Peel medium sized Brown Onions etc. and then roughly chop the onions small - water wash the sliced raw onions in cold tap water within a large mixing bowl and then add the sliced onions to the bottom of the Roasting Tin and then place the Pork Shoulder joint over the top. Roast in the oven at Gas Mark 9 for no longer than 30 minutes
3

Turn the oven down to Gas Mark 4. Roast at this low oven temperature for 1 (One) hour and 30 minutes with some boiling water from the Kettle in the bottom of the Roasting Tin (half of the hot Kettle water)
4

After the slow roasting. Turn the oven up to Gas Mark 7 and roast for a further 30 minutes
5

Take the Roasting Tin out of the oven and then transfer the cooked Pork Shoulder to a Dinner Plate and then allow too rest for 30 or 20 minutes with a bit of Kitchen Foil over the top. The hot crisp crackling should not be rested with the just cooked Pork Shoulder joint. Whilst the oven was on - it might be possible too make nice Roast Potatoes on the bottom metal shelf of the oven. Do serve with roast potatoes and Gravy
