1) Begin by preparing the pork roast. Pat it dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2) In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried thyme. Rub the spice mixture all over the pork, making sure to coat it evenly.
3) Place the seared pork roast in the slow cooker and pour in the water. (For extra flavor, brown the meat before placing into slow cooker.) Cover the slow cooker with its lid.
4) Set the slow cooker to the high setting and let the pork roast cook for approximately 5 hours. This will allow the meat to become tender and juicy.
5) Optional: If you like your pork crispy, transfer it to a baking dish or a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rub salt and vinegar on top the crackling, and bake for an extra 30 minutes or so, or under crackling is golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on it to prevent it from burning. Remove from oven and serve!
You can slice this meat and serve in sandwiches or eat with your favorite sides!
