When is pork roast cooked on meat thermometer?

Answer 1

Roast pork is generally cooked when a thermometer registers the inside of the meat to be 155-165F (68-80C). The flesh will be slightly pink.

The best way to get it there is very slowly for most joints cooked with the skin on to make crackling. Put the joint in a hot oven for 30 minutes when the crackling will be spitting. Turn the oven down to as low as you dare (260 F, 130C) and leave to cook for as long as you can (over 6 hours). Your joint will be so tender you can carve it with a fork.

Answer 2

Cook pork thoroughly, at 350 degrees, preferably in a bak'nbag (much less mess, too!), tied at the end and two small knife holes punched in the top of the bag, and place it in a baking pan. I only add garlic, a little apple cider vinegar, and salt/pepper. Don't forget to "dust" the inside of your bag with about a teaspoon or a little more of all purpose flour. Pork generally takes 25 mins. per pound, but you can bake it (or any other meats) lesser time when in a bake in bag. Cook it until it "falls apart," let it stand about 15 mins. after removing from oven, remove obvious fat sections, refrigerate the gravy from the bag, then remove fat from the top, re-heat and thicken with corn starch, and put it over rice or potatoes. You can also make a pulled pork and add a good bbq sauce for Sandwiches!

Yum! I just did one yesterday and this is a NO-FAIL recipe, thanks to my mother!
