How long does it take to cook a 10 pound pork shoulder in a slow cooker?
Chef's answer
Slow Cook It! Usually this takes about 8 hours on the low setting, but for extra-big hunks of meat it can take closer to 10 hours. For smaller pieces of pork in smaller crock pots, it can be ready in as little as 6 hours.
