COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for a safe and perfectly cooked medium roast, followed by a 3-minute rest.
- 2Let the roast rest for at least 15-20 minutes after removing it from the oven. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat.
- 3Score the fat cap before roasting to help it render and create a crispy crust. Season generously with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- 4The bone acts as an insulator, promoting even cooking and adding significant flavor and moisture to the finished roast.
STORAGE
Keep it fresh.
- Store fresh pork loin in its original packaging or tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the coldest part of the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
- For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil or use a vacuum-sealed bag and freeze for up to 6-12 months for best quality.
- Cooked leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator at or below 40°F (4°C) and consumed within 3-4 days.
