Believe it or not, there isn't a lot of evaporation when I use my clay
baker - so there was a lot of liquid to use for gravy. I reduced it
and made a mushroom cream gravy. The meat wasn't a pork butt, so it
was less juicy because there was less internal fat - but it was
surprisingly delicious anyway. If I buy it again, I'll cut it into
thick boneless chops and cook it that way.
