I’m thawing a 9# pork butt this Wednesday to cook Friday night overnight in slow cooker. Hosting a Harvest Party on Saturday, 10/21/23. I’m reading 10-12 hours on low. I do have a dry rub I will be using, in addition to your recipe. Are you ok with using the rub and the time. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!!

I left my 4 pound pork in the refrigerator to defrost and after 30 hours it was still frozen. I am now putting it in the cold water. What happens if water gets into the Ziploc bag during the process of cold water defrosting?
Thank you

If You freeze a 3 pound pork and put it in the refrigerator for two days to unfreeze take it out and marinate it. Can you put it back for two days in the refrigerator and cook it on the third day

I’ve had my 4 1/2 pound pork shoulder blade roast in the refrigerator for two days and it is still frozen on the inside. Can I spice it and put it back in the fridge until I cook it tomorrow. My plan is to cook it in a slow cooker.
