How to Make: Slow Cooker Roasted Pork Loin

1. Spice Rub:   Rub pork with about 1 teaspoon oil. Mix and sprinkle over pork. Pat to tie everything together.
2. Brown:    Then heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and sear until browned (do not let the seasonings burn). But put the pork in the slow cooker.
3. Honey Butter Sauce:    Clean the pan. Add the butter and melt. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until golden. Add the remaining sauce ingredients, mix and cook quickly for 30 seconds.

Slow Cooking:

1. However, pour the sauce over the pork. Cover the slow cooker.
2. Pork loin:   i.e. cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours (see Note 2 for cooking times for different sizes)
3. Pork Shoulder:   However, cook on low for 10 hours (see Note 2 for cooking times for different sizes and Note 4 for oven, instant pot, and pressure cooker methods).
4. So, remove the pork to the serving plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil (let rest 10 to 20 minutes). (See Note 6 on cooking)
5. Of course, pour all the juices from the slow cooker into a large saucepan. Add cornflour and water mixture, mix.
6. Thick sauce:   Then cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until reduced to a syrupy consistency (Note 3).
7. Finally, cut the pork into thick slices (1.5 – 2 cm / 3/5 – 4/5” thick). Serve with LOTS of butter and honey sauce!
