Pork Roast

Pork Roast: Main Image

Best to Buy

Pork roasts should be reddish pink.

Prep & Store

Refrigerate raw pork roast in its original wrapping up to four days. Cooked pork will keep up to five days in the refrigerator.

Tasty Tip

It is not necessary to cook pork until it is completely white. Today’s pork is so lean that overcooking will make it tough.

Quick & Easy Recipe

Rub the outside with oil, salt, pepper, and seasonings and grill for about 5 minutes. Brush with a glaze if desired and cook another 2 minutes on each side. When done, the meat should be pinkish white and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
