Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler So what are you cooking tonight?

I discovered yesterday that the "unidentified object" the builders left behind is actually a temperature probe for my oven. An hour later I had a 2-1/2 pound boneless pork shoulder blade roast (didnt' know they came that small ) slathered with jerk paste for an overnight marinade, and now it's in the oven in a meatloaf pan tented with foil at 275F.

I put a bit of water in the bottom of the pan; figured it boiled off; added more, then realized there was about 3/4" of water in the bottom of the pan. Fortunately the meatloaf pan has a built-in rack so the roast is largely out of the water / jerk paste mix.

After 2-1/2 hrs the internal temperature is up to 149F so this might actually work. The dogs are sleeping in front of the oven, presumably dreaming about pork. What a life !!
