      this is a great recipe, the trick I use for crispy skin (chicharron) IS dont turn it, LEAVE IT ALONE). i DONT USE SAZON, I MAKE A PASTE OF THE SEASONING WITH 3 TBPS OF OIL. IS SOOO GOOD.

      I made this recipe exactly as posted although I did fear that the meat would be tough and dry from the long cooking in the oven. NOT! It was tender and delicious. At one point in the cooking process, I stepped outside to walk down to the mailbox, and when I came back into the house - WOW - what an aroma! I sliced this very thin and will use the leftovers for sandwiches. (FYI - for those of you intolerant of MSG, there is some of that in the Sazon seasoning - just so you are aware.)

      jb4, I also though this would be a good crockpot recipe,so I used my crockpot and it was delicious.And I too just bought my first Adobo Seasoning, I wasn't sure I would know what to use it on so I looked up recipes on zaar and yours was one I decided to use. Thanks for a wonderful sunday dinner. Darlene Summers

      The 2 men in my family loved it. My son is an executive chef and he really liked it. It was the first time that I used Hispanic seasonings but it will most certainly not be the last. Best pork roast that we have ever eaten.BTW, I cooked it in a crock pot because it was partially frozen. Came out great!

      Yummmmmmmm! The flavor was amazing!!! I know I didn't do it right, because I just used a pork roast and cooked it in the crock pot with about an inch of white wine in the bottom, but I did everything else the same and wow! It was just a tad dry but the flavor made up for it, especially sloshing it around in the wine/broth at the bottom of the pot first :) This is going to be a repeat!

      I made 5 Pernils for christmas (had a huge family come over) and they turned out great! The skin was nice and crispy and the meat was very moist.

      This has been a big hit. I have made it twice, and it's scrumptious! We just used it as a pulled pork for little slider sandwiches at the lst event, and everyone loved it. 1st time I made it with the Sazon Goya, and some Emerils Southwest spice....which was delicious too. Followed the recipe to a tee this last time, and it was great....Thanks for a simple and delicious pork roast recipe!

      This was a delicious way of preparing a pork shoulder. My whole family loved it. I only had a 4.5 pound shoulder, so I seasoned it according to the recipe and then cooked it for 3 hrs at 350 degrees in a covered dish with a little water in the bottom. What great flavor! I am going to make a red-eye gravy with the drippings to go with the left-overs tomorrow. Thanks for sharing!

      I made this unbelievable roast pork (pernil) for my Puerto Rican partner's family. Served it with "Authentic Puerto Rican Red Beans" (Authentic Puerto Rican Rice and Beans) and rice. To say the least, everyone was very impressed. Muchas Gracias!! Al

      Awesome basic recipe! The great thing about this recipe is that you can continue to add ingredients that you love! I added green stuffed olives, basil, thyme, olive oil, sazon, adobo, black pepper, a touch of honey and cayenne pepper...words cannot explain it! My fiance is from Colombia and he hinted that even his mothers recipe had some competition now! I found no need for foil like the other reviews--the hard crust is like a fantastic chicarron! Thankyou so much ~j4~!

      The roast pork turned our amazing! I didn't think I was going to survive the day smelling how wonderful it was, and when it was finally out of the oven I had to pull a piece off and I couldn't believe it, it was amazing, the best pork I have ever had and I have had alot, we used it last night for cuban sandwiches and oh man!

      I have tried many recipes for Pernil and not one came close to this one. This was more tender than any restaurant or homemade I have ever tasted. I could never get the meat this tender nor the skin as crispy, but this preparation gave me both. This is the recipe I will always use!!!

      This was outstanding. I cooked it at 375, instead of 350, because I like the outside to be slightly crispy. This rub trapped the juices in perfectly, keeping the meat moist and delicious.

      Really good recipe. I HIGHLY recommend it. Juicy, slide-of-the-bone meat that was well flavored.

      One of the most flavorful and very versatile. Used it to make cubans and a few nights later, used it for pulled pork sandwhich with slaw and vinegar sauce. The garlic really mellows with the cooking process.
