Meat thermometer.
For a pork roast, you should use a meat thermometer probe, specifically a digital instant-read thermometer or a leave-in probe thermometer. The ideal internal temperature for pork roast is 145°F (63°C) followed by a three-minute rest period. This ensures the meat is cooked safely while remaining juicy and tender. Always insert the probe into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding bones, to get an accurate reading.

A food handler should recalibrate a thermometer whenever it has been dropped or bumped, after prolonged use, or if it is producing inaccurate readings. Additionally, recalibration is recommended before using the thermometer at the start of a shift and periodically throughout the day to ensure accuracy. Regular recalibration helps maintain food safety by ensuring that temperatures are measured correctly.
