Posting for traffic : cooking time for half the recipe

[bjonesreborn]

I have posted this in food but no one has replied so posting on here in the hope that someone can help me!
Apologies if this is a silly question but I don’t want to get it wrong!!
I am cooking a Mexican style pork shoulder recipe today that says to cook 2kg for 4hrs 30 mins at 140° And then lid off for 45 mins to crisp the crackling.
However I am only cooking 1kg of pork, do I halve the cooking time for it?
Many thanks

In principle yes. Possibly about 30 minutes to crisp the crackling.
Keep an eye on it, though.
What about resting time?

I would give it 2 1/2 hours, as you can't really overcook it. Is it boneless?

Thanks both.

No resting time mentioned.
Yes it’s boneless.

This is really handy :)

In that case I think 2 1/2 hours will be fine.

Thank you again

I think pork shoulder needs a long slow cook so the amount is irrelevant here. I cut mine into pieces and still cook it for 4 hours.
