Notes

  • Searing: Searing your pork roast locks in moisture and flavor!
  • Roasting: Always roast fat side up! The fat adds extra flavor that runs through the meat as it roasts, rather than into the pan.
  • Meat thermometer: A meat thermometer will ensure the roast is cooked to the desired temperature.
