Pork today is very lean and should not be overcooked. Whenever possible, based on the cut, use a thermometer to test for doneness. Pork should be cooked to 160° F, a temperature at which it will be slightly pink on the inside.
* For larger cuts of pork, such as roasts, cook to 150° F; remove from the oven or grill and allow to set for 10 minutes before slicing. The temperature of the roast will continue to rise to 160° and the pork juices will redistribute throughout the roast before slicing. |
