You use an accurate thermometer. When the internal temperature of the pork reaches 160°F, it is fully cooked. Make sure the thermometer probe reaches the center of the meat where it would be the coldest.

When the inside is no longer any shade of red or pink, the meat is cooked.

Using a meat thermometer is safest and most accurate.

I work in a deli, and the core temperature of the meat must be above 74 degrees celcius to be considered safe to eat.

As with any meat, stick a skewer in it - the fluid coming out shold be clear, not pink or red. It is difficult to over-cook pork.

The USDA recommends a cooked temperature between 140 and 160 degrees for pork to be deemed safe. Use a meat thermometer;140 would be rare and 160 would be well done.
